I think its funny they say

"expansive hood could contain a v10 or v8"

LOL it looks like a stock S2000 front end to me! And the S2000 has a meer 4cyl under its long bonnet.

i agree with it being fr...the 350z's exhaust is the same and its fr to negate the mr2 comparison plus there is no "visible" air intake on the side nor any heat vents in the rear glass or trunk that i see

i could agree to this too, the 350z exhaust is similar

yeah but like I said earlier - that hood has some major bump to it ---

reminds me of the "m3 killer" lexus IS-F

honda could cram a lot more motor into it with a couple extra vert inches

and as always, IMHO no front engine car can be a NSX replacement
