skimming around on myride.com today and came across this vid.

Even though I'm a Honda guy, it made me smile. :)

I never realized how fast these things are...but damn, I still think it looks terrible.

The front bumper is growing on me, but slowly. I like the taillights too, but that's about it.

I heard "supercar" like 4 or 5 times in that video. That'll no doubt cause an uproar amongst the Eurofag elitists.

Anyway, I think this belongs in either the Car Videos section or the Car Talk section.

Tail-lights look alright...I just don't like the vertical headlamps, or some of the details like those indentions in the rear bumper. The grille looks weird too...the way it kinks up towards the edges. I really think the headlights and the grille ruin the front end...the rest isn't too bad.

It surely has supercar performance numbers...it just doesn't fit the supercar "template" of mid engined with a V-8 or more.

It's the typical jap design man...

'more with less" :)

just like how the Honda Ridgeline has a 3.5l V6 that performs the same as American ones.

True true...I don't see a problem with them calling it a supercar...it surely performs like one.

Really, I think it's quite a machine...it just comes in an ugly package.

Nice numbers...I like the back..front not so much...but it'll grow on me eventually. The Honda Civic Si did. Lol. Hope I can ride in one of these things... I need to take up a Valet job when this comes out. Haha
