I'm totally impressed! Honda has turned this boring little car around and should get themselves back on the map. Based upon all these cool looks I sure hope the rumors of a CRX come true.

I just love the windshield wipers. These 2 huge totally unique blades swing from both outer edges, very unique and really covers almost all of the glass.

The little side window on the 4-door in front of the side rrear view mirrors is very cool.

The interiors look just great, good ole Honda build quality.

I need to go take a test drive!
Tilt and telescoping steering wheel
Maybe for the first time ever I can get the seat back far enough for my legs and then still be able to get a good close grip on the steering wheel.

Actually Vince, I never thought that at all. In fact the slope of the front glass and how it blends to the hood make it look to me differant than any other car I have seen. Even the side angle photos here don't do it justice, the look is very unique.

Yup - the shifter is only about a handwidth away from the steering wheel. I thought it looked wierd and would be wierd to use, but it is in a really good spot.

The gearbox is second only to the S2000s imo....

Next time I see you, take it out for a drive and see for yourself....
