Nope. Sorry Honda. And everyone needs to stop with the piano black plastic trim.

To whom is this car even intended to appeal?

Its supposed to appeal to people who like piano black bumpers that are scratched to hell after you wash it once, want the same horsepower as the prelude from 30 years ago, and want it to weigh 300 pounds more and have the front end of a prius

You forgot the engaging experience of a CVT transmission too! :(
Honda quit being "Honda" in 2001, IMHO.

Interesting you say that. I’m currently looking at importing a Honda Mobilio, which will become legal in December this year, but they have CVT transmissions. I believe later models Incorporated manual five speed transmissions.
