Almost hate to admit it, but I like it in part. I like the front end and th way the highlights follow the side of the car etc, but I dont care for the back-end.

The wheels also look far too small. Not sure I understand the overhead interior look at the seats. ZERO legroom for the 4th row? (I assume the second row is folded down?)

Hi Scott,

"ZERO legroom for the 4th row? (I assume the second row is folded down?)"

No, the rear row is folded down and the second row movew to te far end to make more middle space. I am living in Japan and saw the car, already drove it for a test and will by it - it is extremly convenient, flexible and fun to drive - much easier than its pretty huge outer look tells.
