Only problem is for honda they are up against established and very refined sport cars and this is their 1st take on a sports car thats not a tin can in the modern era.

In the same price range you will find a Golf R, WRX STi, EVO X, Focus. I wonder where's its gonna sit in Australia. As history has it we usually end up with the retard cousin trim/model.

Dont get me wrong, its gonna be a fun car for sure its posting around the same time as the old GTR's around the ring. The thing is cars like Golf, WRX, Focus have been on the market for a looooong time they have been refined over and over again.

What a nail biter.

I'm surprised the car has a conventional gearbox.

I saw it last week on one of Honda dealership.
It looks so much better in real life than in picture. Personally, darker color would be better to put less focus on those fake vents at the back.

What I personally do not like about it:
* I have heard it suffers overheating on track. Check on Jason Honda. And many people talk about it on other forum.
* Overprice - $55k for Front wheel drive car???? It is against Focus RS, Golf R, and Subaru STI. Come on Honda.

Those vents are pretty awful, I can't not see them. For me they spoil the tail and are completely pointless. :thumbdwn:

I am not a fan of the rear end of new Hondas. I have never been a fan of too many visual elements on that side unless they are functional.
