(Without reading pages 2 or 3...) is anybody else getting a Charger vibe from its protruding nose?

I really don't like it. Too tall and not-so-nimble looking. And its nose pushes out too far.

Ugly! The aggressive headlights/tail lights doesn't match the blandness of the rest of the car so it looks very out of place. Not to mention that it doesn't flow very well.

That car looks like it could use a bottle of Ex-lax right now....

It's interesting that all of the vehicles closely/distantly related to this Mitsu C platform (Caliber/Compass/Patriot, Sebring/Avenger, Outlander) all have that 'overtall' look to them. Almost like the proportions conspire to make them all look funny, IMO.

It would be interesting to note the dimensional overlap...it's almost like an art project gone bad, as each of the above products has a presentation in one form or another that ALMOST looks good.

I was about to remark about the affliction that ails the Sebring. It doesn't bode negatively on the CUVs because, well, they're supposed to look like that. But in film and in real life, the Sebring looks like a squished and distended older Sebring.
