This car is so conservative looking and to think that the car is based on the Honda Insight with a slightly bigger engine, it just turns me into a cold turkey.

On the other hand, Toyota's FT-86 has a 2litre boxer engine from Subaru with a RWD package. Now that is something worthwhile. Even the price on the looks is more worth it.

I like the Gen2-esque rear of the design. In fact that's how they should design it when they facelifted the gen-2.

The drivers cockpit still a bit unrealistic, most likely they will redesign it again, and I still find the front 'mouth' a bit ugly. It looks like an unhappy catfish if you take another look.

A bit fat. But WHo cares. At least it got big 'em mouths.

The front looks more like Peugeot than Audi.

Hope they bring in Malaysia in the first place. This car will go well with the gov tax structure for now.

The Toyota Prius is already selling for RM177k, I dun think this car is going to be cheap looking at it's market segment. I agree with Ariff that it would probably be priced like the Golf GTi, probably in the sub 200k region.

this is cool,perhaps Honda is encouraging youngsters to have green sportscar.

i was hoping something like Tesla.

green,yet fast.

anyhow,this is really a good model.a predecessor of CRX.

err…. 1.5L with two assist motor like BMW? or 1.5L with only 1 motor and it's slower than the 1.8L Prius?! Please make it at least 0-100 in 8 sec… and hope i can run on the motor alone…

but still… 2 seats…arrrrrrrr…

If they do that… it would be the Civic Type R hatchback with different styling, haha.

Just wondering, why Honda does'nt offer a conventional NA engine version? Perhaps, the 2 liter 220bhp Type R engine? The world is just not ready yet for a hybrid sportscar…
