The only thing I really do not like is the indentation for the front Nissan Hamburger.

The fangs have a koi sort of look. I'll take it. This cars face is way better than, let's say the Mazda super smile or the Acura whatever.

I remember all the flack over Audi and the big grill..... now it's cool.

The one thing I didn't like about this car when I purchased it was the fangs. I had every intention of changing the front or blacking them out. Three months later and they seem to have grown on me.
