Agreed. Honda/Acura's current headlight/grill style has got to go. It's horrendous.

It's strange because Honda used to make some of the best looking cars on the road. I miss the old Honda.

I don't know how but honda really should fire most of their designers....... & just keep those one that started before 2000 & hire younger ones........all those hired in between need to be GONE.

The pictures show a 6MT. CVT is reportedly an option.

Agree, I could live with the looks, but 60 hp + CVT = not for me.

Manual + 100 hp 1.0t? Now we're talking!

What is wrong with CVT?


That is the best economic automatic transmission.

Honda S660 Modulo Photos Leaked



From the article:
The white prototype with stripes is a S660 Modulo, essentially the Honda equivalent of Nismo. This body kit enhances the sporty appearance of the car even further. And get this: it even has a pop-up rear wing.

17 pictures and full article
