I rather dis-like the hidden engine - I expect to see something that I can deal with when I open the hood -- not yet another obstacle to why I opened the hood. I suppose it does raise the flat rate for everything done under the hood though - mechanics might like it.
I don't like the swoopy lines - tiny windows, and NO star on the hood! Looks like a sissy brake, not a shooting brake!
