OOh difficult to comment on. I just read through every post on this thread. Crazy the amount of interest it has stirred here. It'll sell and sell pretty well. We do miss out on things a bit here in Aus but what can ya do? Move to Japan? I dont mind this car, it wont age too quickly, pretty futuristic look. I LOVE the interior but the rest i just think its a nice car. A nice car i wouldnt buy but would like to go cruising in if a mate of mine bought it. Times have changed, cars must have 4 airbags these days to be seen as safe, they also must have all sorts of electronic interventions... I would love to see the engine put in something lighter, unfortunately probably wont happen.

How bout shortened platform
no back seats
only the 2 front airbags
and then some more type r treatment, (firewall removal or thinning etc)
and we call it the new CRX!!!
Surely if they keep to two seats they could make something safe with most of the luxuries required and keep it to no more than 1100kg?? That would be a car for me!

I dont think theres anything too special about the interest for this car. The interest is just because there hasnt been a new Honda model in so long.

(CRV doesnt count, it is just an upgrade and suvs are never exciting)

its u.g.l.y
what where they thinking with the domed back looks like something homer simpson would build.
