Remember those commercials about the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. The commercials had two characters riding bikes and colliding, one carrying a piece of chocolate and the other carrying peanut butter. After they crash, they find the chocolate in the peanut butter, and they end up singing, "Two great tastes that taste great together...Reese's Peanut Butter Cups."
Well, just like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, this car reminds me of a collision between the current Passat...the flashy front end...and a Toyota Prius, the sides and roof line.
It's not bad, not necessarily beautiful, but not ugly either. I think that Honda felt the need to make this car look like a hybrid so the designers gave it a futuristic look, similar to the Prius's.
I bet a nice color combination would be a deep Burgundy exterior with a tan or cream leather interior. Then top off the dash in a black trim and black carpeting.
I do like the glass rear end...sort of an homage to the design language of the CRX (which borrowed this design trope from Bertone's Maserati Khamsin).

I would imagine they want to take them at the end of the lease and research how the var has performed and how long the car would potentially last and of course ways to improve . Honda has been advertising the car for a bit now too , just not as an available for sale model . There is a family in SoCal that had/has the first hydrogen fuel cell proto-type and have been driving it for awhile now

I don't get it, they already offer a "Green" civic so what's the big deal about this one?.. 
I like the "space ship" interior!
