The render there is forcing two sided polys; so you could probably really say that the poly count is double. The count I put was for the actual one-sided model. I did notice some 5-gons on the frontpiece down the middle. I do try to get all quads.
It's using a smooth modifier and two MentalRay contour shaders to soften the edges.

I can't think of a way to show a decent wireframe. I'll have to think about it. I never really tried to show a wireframe before.
Wings has a quick smooth preview that shows wires; but I wouldn't really call it a wireframe.
3dsmax wireframe shows mesh, not polys, AFAIK. There is likely a way to make max show polys; I just haven't ever looked it. I'll see if I can come up with something.
