The video has been removed.

looks like the author pulled it down. i'm re-uploading the video.

he looked like he won the lottery hahaha his grin was priceless, hope he stays employed!

Looks like fun. Too bad about that fake fender vent - unfortunate design element there. I suspect that is more of a Japanese thing, had the car been designed in NA we never would have seen it.

Dang, that's badass.

i just noticed that he has the bigger jdm muffler tips. hmmm... maybe they'll be available as an option in the US.

Maybe, or maybe because it's limited trim?

Nice catch! Hope you are right about the tips option, they look way, way better - but I doubt it, I was rereading a review yesterday and one of the engineers was asked about the small tips used for the NA market - he said it had to do with pedestrian regulations.

I imagine the aftermarket will offer something pretty quickly though. I don't want to drop a fortune on a cat-back, just a tip replacement please.

I like the cameraman's comment at the end "don't pull up on him". The awkward moment when you finish a conversation with someone and have to leave in the same direction they are.

On an even more pertinent note, I think I heard a little exhaust note when he started rolling again at the green light. That's pretty neat that it has a slight gurgling of that distinctive boxer rumble. I thought the reviews said they eliminated that altogether (sadly).

Sugoi!

Mmm Silver.

The car looks lower from the factor than I would have expected. No complaints there.

Also surprising to see JDM exhaust tips which sadly won't make it to the production model

That vent may have homologation purposes. There's a clear shot for air to pass from the engine bay to that spot on the fender. I hope the aftermarket will have real vents to replace the fake one.

Yeah engineering! woohoo!

Awesome!
