No thanks. Proportions seem off (obviously they're trying to make it seem bigger than it is) and the dash is fugly. Also no to fwd...coming from one of the best fwd platforms in the world (with similar power specs) I can pretty definitively say it still sucks in many ways that have yet to be overcome (like the laws of physics). The awd might be interesting but not for 55-60k.
