It actually looks a lot better with the new update. The taillight has a nice form and shapes. But the wheels gotta go that thing is hideous.

Reminds me of the Audi R8. Pretty cool though. I think I like better then the c7 vet. Though it seems these new sport cars are heading in the same futuristic angular design, not sure how I feel about that. One hand I really love the less dated classic sport car lines, but also am intrigued by the futuristic design direction of cars in development today.

^ I know what you mean about sports car lines, especially the curvy euro 60s look but not sure they translate well to "supercar". Supercars have always been a wedge shape.

I think the front is decent, back is decent, sides not so sure. It seems a bit plain for the likely price bracket but maybe it will be another best handling in the segment kinda car. The specs are intriguing.

I take that back, looking at the pics more it looks really well designed much like the original. It lacks a lot of the "aggressive" bits of the new Corvette and other competitors but this will likely only give it lasting appeal.

That beak thing in the front has got to go.

The beak has been softened by quite a bit.

Also, they've accentuated the flying buttress C-pillar feature, which is pretty sweet, although the 599 did it first.

Looks amazing and the interior is fantastic as well. The front nose looks much better to me.

I really want to see it in comparison to another car. Just from the video it looks tall and more narrow than it should but there really isn't a frame of reference to compare it to. I do think it is looking very nice. I am eagerly awaiting some good tests of it and the inevitable test of it vs the GTR. Come on Honda don't let us down!
