if thats true then y is the newer eclipse, evo, lancer, xB (cant think of anymore right now) STILL look hideous? Sometimes instead of just accepting it u need to take a step back and say....WTF is this shyt, yea its powerful but its a freakin clown car and i bet its even more of a pita to try and chip/mod the stock ecu w/o goin full blown standalone. Some say well its not a performance car well neither was that 550 whp 93 civic that still gets 25+mpg.....rant mode off

After seeing the 2010 in person, I can say it does look better in person, the front is the only thing I can't grasp, and the I series sedan now has a Chrome strip on the top of the smile

not that im jumping in on this a lil late or anything, but also, alone the mustang is a complete failure. haha i think they are trying to go bankrupt (even though the government is pretty much in controll of chevy and ford now) its a sad day when you pull off your break callipers and see FoMoCo (besides the fact that america is known for making cars stop... not go fast.)

If you look closer, these pictures are actually of an MPS, Euro/Aussie. Perhaps that has something to do with this one having the key hole?

I was checking out the 2010 models at a local dealership earlier this week. What appears to be a keyhole in the photos is actually a button. It's about 1 centimeter in diameter and feels the same way a camera shutter button feels when depressed. At least, that's what makes me think it's a button. If it actually is a button, I don't know what it activates, but you're right, Richard - it's certainly a curiosity.
