interior is awesome. ive noticed that it is very driver-orientated. The ergonomics look incredible, especially for an interior that looks very complex.
The exterior, is, well, different. Hey, at least we know now that Honda can be very aggressive

Absolutely Awesome!
Interior is one of the best I've seen in a while from any car category.
Push-button start owns!
Exterior is daring, and a great move for Honda.
Now sell it in the U.S.

Surprised no one mentioned the torsion beam rear suspension, seems to be a hot topic and goes to show nothing is set in stone with what Honda may have said earlier.
The interior, its nice and something new to the industry.
Exterior, I like certain things by themselves like the front end, but I don't think it works all that great as one design when you put the profile and rear in the picture.
I'd rather see a 5-door sedan or different car altogether than this hatch.

I like it. And after seeing the list of features my TSX is starting to feel inadequate. Time to give it another wash...

Thats exactly why this car will never be sold in the US.

Very nice detail shots. I like the concept of the flip up rear seats, it should make it easy to haul tall items. This car is going to be very practical as well as sporty.

i love it. great interior. love the back seats. the car looks like a bertie bott's bean from exterior but i'd rather have that distinction than the current bland looking civics.

Surprised we haven't seen these rear seats sooner, the Honda city has had them for a while now.
Utility
HONDA CITY ULTRA SEATS are employed to permit easily configured seating arrangements.
The 6:4 split rear seating arrangement allows the cargo area to be expanded into the rear seat area, quickly transforming the cargo space into an ample, flat, low-floored stowage area.
The front passenger seat can be fully reclined to extend storage space even further, for stowage of longer items.
When a rear seat is tipped up, in a single, smooth operation, an unprecedented floor-to- ceiling storage area (1,245 mm in height) is created between the front and rear seat. This area can be used to carry tall loads like potted plants.

^ Which brings me to my next thought after reading this. Why not go a step further and borrow from the minivan book and have all seats except the driver's come off? Talk about available space then...

Those guages are most likely from a hybrid version. Notice the "Eco" indicator and the prominent fuel consumption meter. I believe the "Eco" meter lights up in the hybrid when the hybrid drive is regenerating.
