cool, I'll admit it looks good for an over priced honda, too bad Honda has not got off the fence about the HR-V as well.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

the performance and interior are sweet...
but the outside looks like a bag of smashed bum-holes...could have made it better.
I wish my grass was Emo, so it would cut itself...
