not bad, but did they make it RWD yet?




I know the answer to that.

What's with all the "bug-eye" headlight fad on the new Honduhs?

I really do like it. Except for the way the wheels LOOK in the second pic (just a weird effect) I like it more than the last gen. Is this the Type S or the base model, because it has a Type S feel. I see the last one says S on the back, but the rest?

that;s the type s in the picture, the exterior of type s and base one are pretty much the same.

I like it the way it is right now, but that's just me.

Eh. Not much difference, but a nice touch-up I guess. Same wheels, new front, sides, headlights, taillights. Just another makeover kind of like the 2005 ES makeover.

It's a design cue, like the exaggerated pointy grill. Toyotuhs and Lexuhs also have features that carry over from model to model to create kind of a signature look.
