I like it but would prefer it in more of a wagon shape so as to increase cargo room. Keep it up Honda I just might have to upgrade from my 2007 Accord in a few years.
Great looking car, especially in that color with those wheels. I really want to change all the black plastic bits on the exterior to a matte finish though, and I hope it doesn't weigh to much more than the sedan.
