    I can't help it...at first glance I thought, "hmph, Suzuki is going to try the Swift, again".

    I don't want to be able to use the rear window on a hatchback as the head rest.

    Fiesta is greater than 2. Even if they share the same platform.

    But again it's like saying one twin sister is better than the other. Maybe I like the mole next to her lips better.

    p.s: Why doesn't the damn code allow for the symbol "greater?"

    This isn't terribly good. I hate the new design language of the hood laying out over on top of the front fenders, and headlights that crawl up and above the wheel openings.

    The rear doors seem to announce their presence, as opposed to the old days when they were part of the grander plan.

    The rims are also painfully boring, as if they and the whole color scheme and interior were ripped from a Camry. Now the Camry is one of the best selling cars in the world, which normally is a good thing. But in the case of this car, it just isn't anything at all.

    I miss the days when cars had shapes, and curves. I miss mirrors that may have been stuck to the front fenders or bumpers that would kill a pedestrian who merely cared to stare at it for a minute.

    When did the Sugarhill Gang not stand for something on the street? Why is it clear to me now that Hank Williams Jr. sucks and his dad is far better in every way? What kind of last name is Wojdyla? Sounds Polish.

    And why can't I go into the store and just buy a box of Cheerios. All this marketing and mumbo jumbo of Sugar Free that and Fruit infused garbage. When I was growing up we drank coffee. Not a McCafe diet sugar free mocha burpalita expresso.

    Why does the dealer when you buy a new car just use two screws to hold your license plate in place instead of using the other two holes?

    Things were different in the old days. PBS had Mr Rogers and the only colors cars came in were things you could pronounce. Bench seats were standard, lap belts optional, and nobody, I mean nobody ever illegally downloaded music or slept with their English teacher.

    Did you know that more presidents of this country have not had a drivers license than have had one?

    Now, where the hell are my Werthers Originals...

    Some of it's ok. The front-end treatment is terrible. Needs a different color to get further reaction.

    This--plus the Santa Fe--are still going strong and providing a lot of solid employment here.

    Thanks.

    I don't think it looks all that awkward in the pictures, and if, as you say, it's even better in person, then I have but one response: That is one hot Korean.

    I could live with that.
