i like that blue.

At least we know Honda doesn't have to make an original design in order to sell cars. Just use GM designs with a shyttier front and pull colors from the crayola test belt and Honda is good to go. In idealogical concept I like the idea of that car... That design in yellow or blue, thy sucketh.

Phooey.

I think it looks pretty similar to the Solstice/Sky. Not a bad looking car though, I would definitely consider one.

i still can't see the resemblance.... but anyway, i like that S1.5K.

Sounds like the same thing Kia does.

Honda/Acura have been garbage for years now design wise. Acura ruined their lineup with those front grills and Honda went futuristic economy. I miss my s2000 for the precise handling, smooth butter shifting and sexiness but that car had barely any torque for me. Miss that ap1 redline too though.

I'd love it if Honda got back in the performance car game. The S2k was a bit pricey for my tastes, but it was a brilliant car. And more sports/performance cars in general is a gain for enthusiasts, imo. More options, more choice

Kia is still a relatively new company. They can get away with copying here and there to a small degree. Honda is a whole other level. I expect more from the company that made the NSX.

Is a Honda badge flipped upside down an Acura badge?
