Default Uh oh

Ok 14 hrs into ownership. Delivery experience flawless initial driving impression

Serene pleasent gt-ish when tooling around town but- a tiny inpiut from a toe on the right foot releases a snarling cage beast with gobs of torque and speed that builds instantly to insane levels. I'm coming from porschedom where you accepted the constant sportscar edge with noise, lithotripsy level suspension, tight tight steering and even going slow you felt like you were going fast. A polar opposite here in that the car wears two hats and easily switches between them. More to come. How does one do donuts w awd?

Why is the title "Uh Oh" exactly?

You don't do donuts in an AWD.. Unless it's snowing or really really wet/slick. That's not what it's for.

Default Ouch

Well twice I smacked my 6'1" head on the door Frame when exiting I believe now that won't happen anymore.

This vehicle is a monster in sheeps clothing.

Btw nothing off msrp from the dealer I did get a jaguar plate Frame to replace the dealer supplied one. Also a hearty handshake

Paint the rear valence black if you want the car to look a lot wider.

Default Impression day 3

This is a silly car. Massive power and torque with ridiculous ability to reach insane speed by flexing your pinky toe. The sound is brash loud and obnoxious but your challenged not to smile every time you hear it. Close the windows and drive like a grandpa and it can be serene .......but that never happens
