Its aiight, I seen that on Top Gear. They droved a Euro version thou.

What you thinkg about the FIT? I was in Asia I seen alot those Honda FIT.
 
Lose the spoiler, make the tail light/plastic assembly all carbon fiber and uniformly dark, oh and do something with the triangles in the front and rear corners and I think it would look SICK!
 
My initial impressions are that the car appears to be "too busy"...too many lines going everywhere. But I still would like to see the car in person before making final judgement.
 
I'm not wild about it but do keep in mind that it is a prototype at best and likely nothing more than a concept. I'll wait to pass judgement on it.
 
Maybe some of our UK members can chime in, but I remember seeing a Fifth Gear episode on the Net where they review that body-style Civic.

I don't understand the price of the new SIs when you can drop a couple grand more and get an rsx-s?? I think the new SI is built on the same frame too.



The RSX is dead in the water and from everything I know there are no plans to replace it when it's run is over. In the past, the Integra/RSX has been a derivative of the Civic platform but the new Civic is also a *new* platform and therefore not the same as the one used for the current RSX.

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 :up :up 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.

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.
