Yeah, I drive by our dealership on my way to work, I like the facelift they're giving to all the cars.

Yeah, it is very nice. Despite people trying to claim that the new "smile" is as atrocious as Acura's "shield" gimmick, the fact is the lines are damned good on it. It's very nice from pretty much every angle. It's not a Mazda6, but it's still a cut above most automakers.

I want one in black (edit: make that matte black), slammed to the floor with nice, big polished rims. It's got a quality VIP look to it that sedans haven't had for a while now.

Oh without a doubt. It's not a real VIP car if it can't bring it. Is the 6 MPS RWD though? I thought it would be AWD...

It's AWD but whatever, VIP cars can be AWD right >.>

I dunno, Audis are AWD sedans and that just kind of ruins it for me. The RS6 with its V10 still didn't make me think VIP. Of course that also looked boring and is a dog compared to the 6.

I just hope the 6 MPS has a reworked front fascia as the lower part of the bumper looks like a bit of an afterthought on the regular 6. It's just this big gap. Some big vents like on the new MX5 or CX7 and some foglights should fix that though.
