Its sorta ugly, I hope that it looks better in person... Depending on price and MPG, I honestly would consider a new SVO for a daily.

Yeah, I'll reserve judgement for when I see it in person.

The source doesn't seem very credible. C'mon, loose 400lbs? Lol.

Considering a smaller chassis, the new IRS, aluminum body panels (not sure which) and a smaller body, 400 lb is very doable. That's going to be sick being back in Fox territory in weight with these power levels.

The new car is so much larger than a Fox, the smaller size and weight will be like buying a 400rw Foxbody that gets 25 mpg. Pretty damn awesome. Just needs a .5 overdrive swap and cruise at 80 at 1300 rpm and get 30+ mpg!

Really skeptical to see how they lose a full 5inches and keep a backseat. I fit fine at 6foot even. My brother was cramped as hell at 6foot 3inches. The current car is barely a 2+2 especially with me driving. Losing 400lbs puts it at weighing less than a Corvette C7. I'll believe all this when/if I see it.

The backseats are supposedly to keep insurance costs lower. Ever looked in the back of a DB9? It's literally two indentions for asses but nowhere to put legs, same exact reason but if you drive a DB9 I wouldn't think you'd be too worried about insurance costs.

I'm going to be thoroughly upset if this new one runs circles around our cars.
