Its very much like what Honda has done in the last 2-3 years, with the Civic / Accord front end, giving it a smiley face …then releasing the NSX with that front face que (not sure which car was designed first on paper …may have been the NSX). Then they all sort of go together….like one big happy family. It makes it so that the person buying a $19k Civic , subliminally helps them with the buying decision in that it sorta…kinda …"looks" like a NSX from the front end. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
