That new Honda is utterly gopping - in my opinion of course....

Looks like a transformer mid transformation. Without the class.

There will always be fans for this type of machine which is ok, but I think they honda are going too close to a fwd verson of a current 4dr scooby in styling and performance.

Neither points of which I understand honda are trying to go. I think the previous concept was a great looker but the production version was badly executed.

I'll be skipping this generation type r, maybe Its just old age :(

It's orrable, the reviews of the standard car have been underwhelming whereby the Type R is always trying too hard whilst not been good at anything. Bring back the CRX :)

I'd have to wear a head bag driving that :cry:

You know the old saying, 'If my dog had a face like that I'd shave it's arse and teach it to walk backwards'...

Seriously though, the old type R's were pretty damn cool but I don't know who this version is aimed at - Stevie Wonder? Ray Charles? The ref at any NRL match? :poke:

While we are on the theme on how good a car looks,BMW since 2008/9 have yet to design a good looking car from the exterior,interiors have improved in leaps and bounds .The e89 ,1 and 2 series are good examples.

BMWs I always find strange in that the designs never appeal when first released but after a few years really grow on me, the 1 Series being a good example.

I agree - when the rounded lines of the E46 replaced the sharp edged E36 I thought yuck :sick:
Now I view the E46 as a design classic - especially in M3 garb

Honda have always been an innovative company, theyre not really showing that at the moment, if the vtec turbo motor wound up to 9k or if they decided to stick two electric motors to the rear wheels ala nsx then that would be different...

Not at all; Gopping. Adjective. (comparative more gopping, superlative most gopping) (slang) Ugly; disgusting. :roll:

Much depends on the age of the driver. If your 17 with money then this may appeal. Any older with a modicum of taste definately not suitable would be the politest way to say it but each to there own.

There's far too much going on with the styling of that for my taste.
