I think it looks fantastic for a modern sports hatch, just the rear has to grow a little bit on me first...
Honda have done a fantastic job from concept to production and I hope its as good as the preamble suggests...306bhp quoted in some places...will raise some hairs for sure
They have left plenty of space for an RR version too...
6 speed sequential please Honda!

I think it will be over engineered in some ways, I have this feeling of disappointment coming from its eventual press review. Also Ford have been there already with the RS (soon to be again) and I cannot see it taking much market off the Golf R.
As brilliant as the Toyota GT86 is, no one cares because it's an underpowered great handling coupe. Let's hope that something similar doesn't happen to this - at least it's got 300bhp to keep the power hungry happy.
stupid, stupid spoiler though. Very stupid.
would I buy/rent one?
No- but I'd be very happy in a 2010 metallic green focus rs.

It's Bagpuss in a ra-ra skirt.
Getting hand-wringy over the aesthetics of the body kit on a design at the end of its unsuccessful production life is like worrying a pig is wearing a clashing shade of lipstick.
It's also somewhat missing the point of the car. A bit like the dick-swinging Nuremburg Blue Ring times that the car is designed for, is somewhat missing the point.
And indeed, its not ooooh, German.
