What do you guys think about Honda F1 new livery?

http://www.formula1.com/news/5689.html

I personally prefered Honda F1 testing livery. It looked badass with that all black livery. The new livery looks awful IMO, although I do think over time it will eventually start to grow on me. As long as they have a fast car, thats all that matters! :thumbsup:

respect to honda for this one..

although i enjoy f1, it is filled with materialism and technocentrism.

good to see a team with a deeper outlook and morals, even if it is a minor contribution in the sceme of things.

I like the fact they're raising envionmental awareness, but that new scheme is just hideous to look at!!!! I wish they kept last years colors w/o Lucky Strike branding or just went black! Sorry to say this will be one of the WORST looking cars on this years grid.

Doesn't do it for me. It's bringing back memories of the horrible 2 scheme they had for the 555/lucky strike scheme when BAR first entered the scene.

Well.......its different. Lets hope it at least goes faster that the other cars on the grid. Should have gone with like an image of a rain forest with animals etc instead of a blurry picture of earth. Or should have used a better image of the planet.

Their intention is good, but the look of the car was sacrificed. Could have easily done a much better job while keeping with the theme.

It actually looks pretty good from the side and from the back. Looks better than Renault.

The best livery was the BAR 006 (2004 Challenger)..

In 2005 and 2006 they changed the Lucky Strike White to traditional Honda white (From the 1960's Honda F1 team) This colour had more yellow and looked like vanilla cream more than white...

Long live the 2004 Luckystrike Livery... I'll sure miss it...

^ it was more traditional looking and worked well as a colour scheme - but I'm glad honda has the balls to stand out with the new look.

should be cool to see a map of the world blasting around a track lol

Love the concept, talking about doing something different...

It's already growing on me since Monday, but before I read the story behind it my 1st impression was WTF???:eek: :confused: :(

Should have just stayed with badass carbon fibre/black...
