Just because a car is designed to be because racecar does not mean it needs to be beaten with the retarded aggressive stick. The car is way too slow to wear aggressive clothes to make up for the lack. I'd happily have that girly front end with 300 HP under the hood. Or even 200.
There are lots of hard-core sports cars that don't feel the need for stupid "agressive" BS.

Just because you can use it to cruise, doesn't mean that's what it's design goals were. R&D as well as design resources are all focused at the goals for the platform. The use case you describe above is feasible and maybe even comfortable however the point actually
is "aggressive BS". Not grand touring. So even though it'll get you up and down the coast in 4th and 5th gear does not a relaxed single lane highway cruiser it make. For that reason, the CB's styling feels totally wrong for the platform.
