I'm always fascinated by the difference in the "eye of the beholder". I'm not putting down the OP, but when I looked at the cars side by side I had the opposite reaction to the styling.
The 2 seems bland and the 1 agressive. Seems that the designers wanted a car that was more mainstream in looks. The 1 IMHO made a "statement". Not look at me, but more of I'm different without excuses. One of the reasons I like it.
The 235 I drove belongs to the sales manager of the local dealer so I did drive it hard.
For those who did not have a 135 I think they will be very pleased with the 2. For some of us, there is just not enough "evolution" to warrant a change. Frankly compared to my 135 (modded of course) the 2 did not wow me so that I want to run out and buy one.
So, anyway, those our my musings.....that's all.
