It may in fact be lower, but from my point of view the car looks higher and this is all that matters.
I will stand by my original comment, it would make a good 4 x 4, but that is nothing that a set of lowered springs would not fix.

I look forward to see a few more, or even better seeing them in some dealers up close and even getting a thrash.

In your original post, you stated it cleared more ground front and back--actually, it clears less, it just looks like it clears more--that's where I'm coming from. The first generation would actually be a better 4x4....

I agree with you on the looks--it does look higher, but from a practical standpoint (which is what matters to me; this is where the performance aspect comes into play), it's actually lower.
