You're right.Most of the people I talk to are mad that Elio would go Japanese car style than the much preffered hot rod type.Not only that but they changed it to worse with the slick hood too.And the the back quarter window,the front fender and the real sore boxy rear.What an ugly view.Put the P3 & P4 aside and look at the difference.We needed it just like their promise on the T shirt they sent us.
I don't believe the integrated headlight is "Japanese car style"...all newer vehicles use this style headlight now, foreign or domestic. FWIW, I think the headlight "pods" on the P3 look like frog eyes to me....no thanks, I'll take the cleaner and more streamlined looking integrated version...
