I can kind of see it

The throwback front end is great!

Considering this would slot in price-wise below the Miata, how much car would you really be getting? I've got nothing against Miatas, but it's not like the market is looking for a vert for people who don't want the raw power of a MX-5.

yah, i like it.

kenchan · 09-18-2013, 11:04 AM

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.

Sounds like the same thing Kia does.

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.

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

JungleZ · 09-18-2013, 02:52 PM

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

Is a Honda badge flipped upside down an Acura badge?
