As someone that hasn't liked any car since the ITR, I LOVE IT. Exceptionally good exterior design that has many important similarities to DC2, which is a good thing. Interior design is simple, functional, racy. Problem is Honda will never make something like this... They may bring Integra back and it may have some visual similarities, but fully expect turbo power, lots of insulation and more weight. Basically a CTR-coupe. Lot of folks will like that, but I'm not one of them.
Been waiting for the 'real' CTR to show up with no insulation, 18" rims, no lux features etc, but Honda seems reluctant to offer that. I think the Type R's from the GE are never going to be repeated/surpassed (in terms of driver involvement/experience) by future models, not for lack of capability, but lack of desire (on the part of Honda).

not too sure if below specs are accurate or not, but also seems like they have the concept roaming the streets already somewhere...I think LOL

If they can keep it lightweight with a good suspension design, from a performance perspective I'll be interested.
Aesthetically, I really can't get behind how ANY of the new cars look. Literally almost everything since 2015 just seems so soul less and bland to me, all seem to have some sort of future-esque minimalist inspired design. Personal opinion I guess.
Edit: Looking at it more, I actually don't dislike it as much as new cars like the 400Z (almost everything about the 400Z looks ugly to me). The interior would be a big make or break for me.
