I hope you have a way to keep the nose covered up when you drive it.

I hope you have a way to cover up the nose on that ugly-### Honda insight you drive! Maybe you and 2 other people on here believe the nose is ugly. Go somewhere else with that ####.

It's a shame it looks so ugly in person. Photos are nice, but after seeing it at the Geneva car show, all I can say is "yuck"

You'll understand when you finally see it close up.

At least they're using proper headers

The ones in my SLK55 AMG are lame i.e. they're just one big collector with a tube on one end. No wonder when you add a proper header (built to cause some back pressure to suck out the fumes from each cylinder), you gain like 30hp (according to Kleemann, Brabus, etc...).

It IS a good thing the new engine weighs less then the old one. Unlike the M5/M6 engine which is a ****ing boat...

this engine IS the M5/M6 engine, with 2 cylinder's removed

the reason it weighs less was because the previous I6 was an iron block...
