I’d take it over all the other steroid econoboxes (neon/caliber, cobalt/ion, etc…)

it does have a scoop to cool off the Intercooler. Its in the grille. Is it efficient? I dunno. Does it do its job? Most likely. If they put a scoop up top, then it would be a Subaru.

That was the first thing I thought of when I first saw the car in C&D a few days ago…I was hoping it might at least be AWD like the MS6.

Unfortunately, in this day and age, 3060 lbs. isn’t heavy.
