Dear God, no! Is that black plastic on the rocker panels and rear bumper! Just when you thought all the *****ing and whining about black plastic was over...

 

Yeah Just what I thought, we'll never hear the end of it. In My Opinion, it really looks like this is gonna turn out to be a Good Looking Car!
