not sure about that grill front. kind of looks like their lastest ugly TL front with that same pointy shield look.

yeah I think Lambo will introduce a gallardo replacement around '15.
chances are it probably already has a hefty v8/10 that would make great power on it's own, with or without the electric motor.
idk I'm still not convinced of the merits of something like that though.
chances are it's going to be some rich dude's toy and not some daily driver, so environmental concerns are prob negligible at best.
(it could happen, just not likely on a large scale)
Having a FI V6 is okay I guess if it's a more affordable & lighter sports car.
It wouldn't be such a bad idea if Honda re-did the s2000 with it.
On a $90k+ (speculated) car where you're competing with anything from already a more balanced 911 to a brute like the Z06 & GTR, I fail to see the appeal.
idk about using the electric engine to up the torque.
I though apparent lack of torque was always a honda hallmark.
It just seems to me this concept really lacks focus, not unlike some of Honda's other stuff like the CRZ
do they want it to be enviro-friendly or do they want performance?
is there a market for something like this realistically?
does it have what it takes be a halo car?
Can't say I'm optimistic.
aside from the honda-die hards I can't see it appealing to most (and how much of them have 90k to blow?).
it saddens me to say that honda is prob my least fav Japanese manufacturer today.
