Since the car does not have same size tires up front, and in the back...that means you cant do tire rotations i suppose? so whenever you would need to rotate does that mean i would have to find new tires? that can't be cheap...

Jake,
In the stock setup you will only be able to rotate from side to side. The tires are bi-directional so that will be OK. Some have put additional rear rims and tires on the front, and one advantage of that is they can then be rotated all around.
N.B. Somewhere very recently a link was posted where you can download a pdf of the Owners Manual. It will give you a lot of information.

Reason: N.B.
Tires are available at tire rack. You can rotate left to right, right to left. If you change the front wheels to match the rear and mount the same size tire all around, you can rotate as recommended by the tire manufacturer. There is a thread on this and we beat it pretty well, try search, eh!
