That looks frankly AWESOME
I take it the 5-door version will be a little more "normal"? But like GC said, well done Honda for being bold! I like it!!

Really like that. Plenty of little cues from the DualNote Concept, especially that front end. Hats off for breaking the mould.

Probably not the best colour to show it off in my opinion but a bet it looks awsome in black.

looks alright...
Not sure yet, the exhausts(?) look a bit odd, wouldn't mind seeing a type-r or equivalent version.
...yeah probably would look a lot better in black, most things do.

I should point out that it's the "production concept" so minor things like the front grille and exhausts might be changed for production.
I really like it -- they've done an *excellent* job of hiding the rear doors - much better than Alfa could manage. My only concern is the rear hatch lower profile. That will be really difficult to align with the huge bumper moulding, plus it will be the first *expensive* thing to be damaged in a rear-ender -- I'd expect that pressing to be changed for production.

I agree with Petrified. Although the new is awesome looking and would definately turn heads, i prefer the old one.
Each to there own though.
