Side and back look great, front not as much. Still plenty of time to tweak the design before release though.

looks audi r8-ish, beak needs to go. i find the car kinda bleh..... it doesnt inspire or excite as previous honda products. the back reminds me of the mclaren mp4-12c


oh well, lets see how this evolves, either way you see it then end state is that honda is trying to build a "performance" car again which is a good thing

I really think it looks quite interesting. I never thought the GT-R was beautiful, what it has is "presence", not beauty. I think this Honda has more style, with sportier lines in the traditional sense of sporty. I'm sure the "beak" or sharpness of the design will be toned down on the production version (as well as the wheels). If they can pack that drive train in there and keep it around 3,300 pounds it would be pretty nice (assuming it's under $100,000).

I saw someone mention it would be made in the USA, that's kind of unsettling.

Other than that I'm positive that Honda is finally playing catch up. I know with time they'll have to get their house in order, and we're witnessing the first step.

In regards to the hybrid/greeness of the car that we all dislike, they are being forced to follow a trend put in place by our governments (not just the US, but Europe, and Japan as well), and not the market. This is a direct result of not letting market demand dictate the future of products and industry. I believe there's far more cost effective ways of reducing fuel consumption than adding weight on top of weight (but that's a whole other topic).

It does have an R8-ish appearence. It's not very exciting for being THE actual NSX successor. I'm sure the production version will be toned down a lot. Would prefer it without the hybrid and SH-AWD.

Not too bad, but will wait until the production model comes out before opening my mouth. Actually welcoming the hybrid technology, we'll see how it pans out.

Still think they should have just released a slightly toned down street version of the HSV as the new NSX. None of this hybrid/ auto shit.

dude, all I know is it is mid engined and seems to be for real. awesome.
Appearance is subject to change before release.
You're going to have a similar look just based on the MR platform, but the details can and probably will vary considerably.
