what i was about to say.

 

eww. Every time I see it, I think it is a prototype or something. Can't believe that body design made it that far.

when i first saw it i said "are you serious?" out loud

 

Why don't they just jazz up the SI the same way the ITR was a racier version of the GSR in the states.

 

wow... that thing sucks!

Sucks doesn't begin to describe it. That thing is more than HIDEOUS.

That thought alone is almost as hidious as that car....

 

Maybe they will be easy to steal, and take some publicity off of our cars???

 

As I said in the Civic forum: Looks like it came off the set of 3Fast, 3Furious

 

Maybe I'm the only one who doesn't think it looks that bad.

It's major faults in my eyes are the huge steamroller wheels that I'm sure were included because the current show market demands them and the bit over the top cartoonish body kitted look. But hey the EVO is no swimsuit model and the Sti is plain ugly.

Plus the car looks too tall (but this might have to do with it being scaled next to a tiny Japanese man), which is also one of the things that drew me away from the RSX as well when it was first introduced. If you guys also remember the RSX didn't get a warm fuzzy welcome when it was introduced. But it grew on many over time.

I'm pretty sure many of the youngins don't remember when the Gen3 Integra was introduced and how many Acura/Honda philes made in known how they hated it's looks with the 4 headlights the way they were. But it has sort of a timeless elegance when you look at it now.

To me it ain't that ugly. And it gets less ugly if it can go like stink and eclipse the current R that we have and love.

I must be the only one that thinks it looks PERFECT. If anything, we should be happy Honda is pursuing an interest in the "Type R" brand - seeing as how the integra/rsx is under speculation for being discontinued, etc...

Take a look over here Alexander: http://www.vtec.net/news/news-...07784

Unfortunately it looks like we'd get stiffed again and it'd only be a european release. Why oh why do all the hot hatches get released to play against eachother in Europe first? Oh well.

 

well, at least it's the right color..

i imagine that still just a concept which are always crazy looking, i'm sure the production will look much cleaner.. oh well, probably will never come to the states anyways.

Being color blind must suck.

and to think my post got deleted for using the "p" word.....

 

its a concept, its not meant to be perfect per say. but in all honestly, even with smoothing its lines out and other to be expected changes, it wont save that sinking ship.

 

little too busy in the back, but reminds me of a peugeot (sp).

 

hey at least the rims are cool.. just not on that car
