Overall it's a pretty impressive car for the price. For $23k or so you get 300HP and a six speed manual transmission (this was the V6) - and 27mpg on the highway (or so it's claimed). The inside looks OK, not too cheap-looking anyway, and the performance is quite impressive. I was at a track day and my instructor gave me a ride in it. It was actually a GM loaner car that his wife was borrowing so he didn't want to drive it too hard, but we still only got passed twice, once by a Corvette and again by a 911.
I haven't decided if I like the looks - personally I prefer either an all out sports car or sport sedan look - this doesn't seem to know what it wants to be.
