I saw one today, up close and personal.

Wasn’t able to drive it, unfortunately.

It made me me think,

On the one hand, turbocharged honda...

On the other end.... Look at it!

It looks like something that Vin- diesel puked after the seventh fast and furious movie.

How can a normal person drive this, without feeling super sub conscious about his self?

It’s horrendous

Although it’s an opinion shared with a certain loud-mouth Brit, I think hot hatches should be fun and brash when the normal hatchback/compact segment tends to be somewhat conservative.

Don’t get me wrong, it does look like it comes F&F-prepped from the factory, but for a company like Honda who tends to make very conservative cars (although the recent Civic trends are starting to diverge from this idea) I think it’s a good step forward. Then again, I tend to like slightly weird and/or crazy cars, and this does nicely for me.

I dig it. We have enough conservative greyscale Golf clones.

it has to have stickers saying something like “faster than the m5 on the ring”

I don't mind the front end. I'd probably ditch the rear wing though. And why must ever automaker insist on having such a high beltline in the back? It's like since the backup cameras are now mandatory they just gave up altogether on rear window visability.

It’s an exercise in childishness. Which is exactly what it’s supposed to be.

I am closer to being 50 than 20, and I'd rock it hard. I'd do dirty things to it. Oh yeah I would.

That wing would serve some function at high speeds. It probably keeps the back planted in high speed corners.

I want one when it comes to America.

A slushbox can be fun, too! > Jewish Stig 04/05/2016 at 13:21

It's more an ikea shelf than a wing

I’ve never held Honda in high regards.

It looks like the hardest turning, highest performance FWD car built. What’s wrong with that.

The next one will be bigger, I will be sad
