    This is one of the publicity shots of their new 245hp turbo 4. WTF? Also hydraulic PS is back?

                It has been quite some time since we saw the four, I wonder how it will sell.

                  I like their half-assed strut bar as well. It looks like a piece of aluminum.

                      Hydraulic power steering never left... the pump is driven by an electric motor instead of a belt driven off the crank. The electric assist in the vehicles with dynamic drive is literally a huge electric motor augmenting the force that the driver is exerting through the wheel.

                          Because it's turbocharged?

                            I'm a little surprised there is no mention of an intercooler. Hell, it could be in there somewhere under all that plastic I guess.
