Just saw that, it looks awful... Hoping they'll improve the final design

I think it looks ok overall and really good from some angles.
It's as sleek as you could expect from a modern car meeting modern crash worthiness and space for EV batteries.
Us 4th genners are particularly enjoying that the styling cues that have been carried forward... All come from the 4g and not the 5g :P :lol:
(The v shaped bonnet line continuing deep into the front bumper, the rear bumper turning up in a curve at the outside edges of the bootlid to the underneath of the tail lights and THE FONT they've chosen for 'prelude' ) :D
4th gens ftw, always :P

This article contains a lot of static angle shots;

Big question is... Does it come with rusty arches as standard? :think:

This. With modern day infotainment, the 4th gen dash design would work so well.

This guy says it is in FWD, but... I think he's imagined that being confirmed rather than it actually was.

WHY TF DOESN'T HE POINT THE CAMERA UNDERNEATH IT???

Hmm, not sure how I feel about it, perhaps it's the colour but I feel it's very...understated
