The pumped-up bonnet is essential because the turbocharged six-cylinder engine has a performance-boosting intercooler on top.This will be interesting to see how well the intercooler works?

The bonnet doesn't even have a scoop on it like Subaru do on the WRX.

All cars with a top mount and chase more power always change to a front mount.

Regards,aa<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Being a SUV (although many wouldn't venture off the bitumen that often) a frount mount wouldn't make much sense at all - do a bit of off roadin' and she'd be clogged like a biatch.Trent.
