I like everything, visually on just the frame's shape and features minus the graphics, except the ISP. Some like ISPs, some don't. I'm in the latter category.

Also, does anyone have info about weights?

The level top tube reduces the "frontage" of the bike. You can't do aero correctly with a sloping TT.

Never heard of the term "frontage" before. If by frontage you are referring to frontal area then no, you aren't decreasing the frontal area because it is already behind the head tube. It is, however, aligning the toptube to the direction of the flow so as to decrease the interference with streamlines.

According to Cervelo, sloping the S5's toptube had no real negative aero effects. It all depends on how you shape the toptube "airfoil"

With the offerings in the lower price points and the telescoping post, I wouldn't be surprised to see a few men riding the WSD bike...

I am not 100% sure, however I would be supprised if we don't see an advanced grade carbon version of the mens bike as well. They won't leave the entry price point at $7000

Have the Giant people designed a flawed bike with clearances this tight? http://www.cyclingnews.com/features/pho ... -sl/249255

Flawed because you can't fit 28s and mudguards to it?

Clearances that tight on a TT bike are possible, but on a general road bike?
