The rear end is much improved, but now the lights look like a mix of BMW, Audi, and Lexus.

Yeah, me too. I just couldnt wait anylonger for this 3 coupe to come out.

May be I will trade my IS350 in with this coupe in 2 years or so. I am liking it so far.

Just a guess... but it might be one of those systems where it's routed through one side when idling to keep it quiet and when WOT occurs a butterfly valve opens (or something to that effect) & routes exhaust through both side for maximum flow...

On my '02 Maxima it had double pipes on one side - during idle only one tip emitted exhaust - it was always dirtier than the other too.

Also - I'm not sure how an exhaust of that design could be that effective because it's a straight 6 engine. I do realize that the M3 does have two sets of double outlets.... for looks?

So when is this car coming out? What are the projected prices? I might have to wait for this and skip on the IS350.

So is it going to be 3.5 liter or a Turbo 6?

A turbo 6 would be sweet!

Call me crazy but I smell Photoshop.

If not then I stand corrected.
