If that picture represents the finished product it's going to stand out as one of the nicer looking sedans on the market.

That base model will come with more features than a lot of fully loaded vehicles. And for the car being a "turd," you should probably reexamine VW and their quality in addition to their overall reliability.
Or just make baseless claims, whichever floats your boat. |

Will it come with any engine options other than the base 2.0T in the US? This arguably looks better than the A5 Sportback...

I will need to see it in person. It kind of looks like it just came back from a really unethical orthodontist who installed the works.

Reports so far are saying only Turbo 4 power for the U.S. which would be a bit disappointing. It looks good inside and out though. It's going to have some real competition with the Stinger GT; 100 more HP for less money most likely when optioned the same.

6.5 to 60 is not slow.
I get it that it is relative. But by any measure to the bulk majority of the population, 6.5 to 60 is at the very least peppy. |

9-10 seconds is slow 6.5 is perfectly adequate for the general populace. In something this attractive I think they could offer a more powerful engine if they have on that fits. A NA VR6 would not cut it as you wouldn't gain much HOP over the EA888.

Regarding "slow." You do realize this is a sedan that's designed to move people in comfort, with features and materials that are of higher quality, right? It's not a "performance" vehicle that is designed for the drag strip, track, or really anything that is spirited in nature. Someone would not cross shop this car with a wrx, focus rs, gti, etc. Maybe compare it to the accord, sonata, Malibu, legacy, etc. Also, the car isn't final. I'm willing to bet the car does 0-60 around the same Time as the accord v6, maybe slightly slower. You sort of need to get a grip on reality and realize where this car is positioned, target demographics, and competitors. If you can't figure that out then the discussion is pointless. |

This looks really nice, definitely not a turd. Liftback is awesome too.

Without a clutch glazing, drivetrain straining, hard launch an STI achieves achieves 5-60 mph in 6.6 seconds. So in your words the STI is a turd in real world driving conditions.
