This car has a highly debatable design, however it takes many design cues from a [[wp:Pontiac G6|Pontiac G6]] (main styling/shape, and the bottom of the front clip), a [[wp:Pontiac Grand Am#1999-2005|1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am]] (the greenhouse/roof), a [[wp:Saturn Ion|Saturn Ion]] (the shape of the back doors); although the headlights look close to the ones on an Ion, judging by the narrowness, they are closer to a [[wp:Honda Civic (eighth generation)|2006-present Honda Civic]]; the taillights look somewhat like that of a [[wikipedia:Pontiac Bonneville#1992-1999|1992-1999 Pontiac Bonneville]] (the reverse lights integrated on the strip with "IMPONTE" on it seems similar to the ones on [[wp:Chevrolet Lumina#1995-2001|1995-1999 Chevrolet Luminas]], the actual strip itself is closer to the Bonneville). The black-tinted roof is probably inspired from the [[wp:Eagle Talon|Eagle Talon]]/[[wikipedia:Mitsubishi Eclipse|Mitsubishi Eclipse]]. The dashboard features red lighting, a Pontiac trademark. | This car has a highly debatable design, however it takes many design cues from a [[wp:Pontiac G6|Pontiac G6]] (main styling/shape, and the bottom of the front clip), a [[wp:Pontiac Grand Am#1999-2005|1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am]] (the greenhouse/roof), a [[wp:Saturn Ion|Saturn Ion]] (the shape of the back doors); although the headlights look close to the ones on an Ion, judging by the narrowness, they are closer to a [[wp:Honda Civic (eighth generation)|2006-present Honda Civic]]; the taillights look somewhat like that of a [[wikipedia:Pontiac Bonneville#1992-1999|1992-1999 Pontiac Bonneville]] (the reverse lights integrated on the strip with "IMPONTE" on it seems similar to the ones on [[wp:Chevrolet Lumina#1995-2001|1995-1999 Chevrolet Luminas]], the actual strip itself is closer to the Bonneville).

Despite its near similar design, the DF8-90 is available in three different variants, each identifiable by the presence of a spoiler or the type of spoilers used | Despite its near similar design, the DF8-90 is available in three different variants, each identifiable by the presence of a spoiler or the type of spoilers used, and their badges on the trunk lid. The base variant, which has no apparent indication of what engine it has, has no spoiler; the V6 Sport variant, however, features a basic spoiler, while the top-of-the-line V8 Turbo (Imponte Racing) variant features a curved spoiler. Otherwise, all three variants share the exact same body and range of body colors, and handling. | ||
