Love the front, don't care for the rear. 
If they lost the spoiler and made the light assembly a little classier... |

Personally, I think it's looks pretty HOT. I've always felt the North American models were far to boring when you look at all the cool compacts Europeans can get.
I for one give it  way up.
In looking at it for a while, it kind of reminds me of a VW Corrado. Just updated.
Either way, I'm sure Honda would be able to sell plenty of them.
It's nice to seem aggresive designs coming out.

  Think the "Type R" sticker puts out more hp than the "VETEC" stickers?

It's different I can give it that. I am a Honda fan so I am sure that car will be built very well, handle like a dream, and have some decent performance numbers for a four cylinder engine. Honda doesn't just add a body kit and call it a Type R. They actually put some thought and engineering into it.

I wouldn't call that concept "raising the bar", at least from a visual perspective.

I too agree it isnt too pretty but hey, Id wait to see how it turned out if it would actually reach production. Hey Spoiledman, I saw a japanese article on teamintegra.net that touted rumors of a new 2008 rsx with the RDX motor and awd. It sounded nice but it could very well be a rumor just like a v10 2008 NSX. I want to see if Acura will really release that sports coupe in the 50k range but god knows when that will happen.

Is the NSX a rumor? Honda did just finish with some killer F1 development with v10's. 
I was reading a comparo with the Fit and a bunch of other subcompacts and the Fit gave em a swift kick. The new Si is a very good start and the after market is nuts about it. The 4 door Si is on the way which will just add to the after market love for the Si's. The Element SC is coming in the fall. The RDX(turbo) is on the way in June(?) and it's likely to have some cool power adders in the pipeline. New MDX is on the way for this fall. I see a bunch of goods ready to take a truck leery crowd by storm!
