i can kind of see it in the winshield shape.

if you squint while looking at the picture, i kind of also see a g37? i think it's the shape of the front end that makes me see it

not really a fan of all the cars these days that are higher end sports cars putting black wheels from the factory on. corvette, this, porsches etc.

Weird it really does remind me of an s2k. Those headlights are similar to the AP1 headlights as well.

Take away the grill and it does look like the most expensive S ever. I like it.

Not really it looks like the coupe version just with the roof cut off.

I find it pretty laughable that the Italians would take inspiration from a Japanese car designed in the late 90's.

The nose is quite S2000 looking, but many companies have used that look since the S2000 came out. Just goes to show that Honda could design something immortal looking, but those days have passed...
