These engineers have better work to do like: [1] Redesign the allocation of paddle shift (no steering mounted please, instead, but behind steering, like Ferarri). [2] Decreasing the semi-auto gear shifting time (unreasonably slow, a second to next gear?! That is REAL slow, as reference, Ferrari does it in 50 millisecond) [3] Use double clutch (VW Scirocco hehe) [4] OEM Mugen body kit (lose in performance but at least better looking than others) [5] Logon to paultan.org to see our comments!

I think I've to agree on some regarding that it's kinda hard to tell it's actually a facelift at first glance. Only when you look hard enough that you will notice the front thicker chrome grille and the rather nice rear lamp. Still, albagmane point it out really good regarding Honda moves making this a really really light facelift. I mean it's already a good looking car, why want to mess it all up?! Take the Mazda RX8 for example, I still like and loved on how the old version look like compare with the new one. Never actually dig the subtle front head lamp and my god the new rear lamp with it's twin round lights looked rather 'cheap and ugly'. That is what happened when you mess too much with a good looking car! And that are just my two cents folks....take care! :-) Hmm…

Changing the front bumper to "like a" type-R version is a good move. Why the hybrid still using the waja type antenna? should standardise to use same as 1.8/2.0 version.
