Cool! Looks way better than the CR-Z. It is interesting but very clean and tidy. I would drive that car (if it was sporty and not an econo-turd).

The back isn't much bigger than the Scion iQ. It goes back to the small original civic using some of its styling (grille and headlights) as well as the fuel sipping size. With fuel prices, there is a market for this in the world. Question is where does it fit in the North American line?

these are some small changes to the body i think that would be good to be a bit more pleasing without changing the overall feel and structure of the original.

Not every great car has to look like a shark trying to eat a seal. I like it.

Unfortunately I doubt it will come with those brakes and wheels.

Also, for the record i don't like or dislike its styling. TBH i actually think the headlights are pretty interesting.

It takes a keen eye to see the potential in this concept and I understand why some folks may not like it. You kind of have to study it for a while to see what it's all about.

There are some styling cues that really draw my attention; the front end with the grille and headlight integration, the flush and flat roof, the big door panel that could indicate a very roomy interior, the kinks on the side fender/door and right below the tail light.

Perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself but that would be cool to see Honda resurect some of the classic 90's cars.

Your question also applies to almost all current Honda models. I'm not a fan of them.
