Is that considered mid or rear-engined?

Typical of the new models -- bloated, and devoid of soul. Doesn't even have a manual steering rack any more. Basically just a lux-o-cruiser for those with more $$$ than passion. Probably one of those alternate fuel engines as well....

I don't know what you're complaining about, it looks like it comes with jack stands permanently attached for parking in the driveway.

I know, FUD
