Interesting view at time :47 in this video. The rear deck lid only accesses the air box. I wonder how much of the rear needs to be opened up to get to the rest of the engine?

there must be a second layer to open to allow for coolant and and fluid fill ups. Unless they have those fluid bottle in the front of the car. But for oil I don't see it possible...

the top layer is for air duct and blower fan access.

there's a lower layer allowing access to the engine.

Hardly seems worth having those gas struts on such a small panel. They should have saved the weight.

Check out this video. Almost absolutely no camo. When he goes in the tunnel you can clearly see the tail lights. Here's a quick PS.

Not liking the trapezoidal license plate cut-out. Looks like the US cars will be forced to have triangular bumperettes (if tradition continues). Yuck. My only criticism with the exterior so far...

That's a cool video. I'm starting to get that tingling feeling over this car. Can't wait till Sept.

I am a bit deceived by the last video where it seems the rear bumper is quite ugly

I hope that is not the final product, that is one ugly rear.
