The front headlights remind me of the current Honda Pilot (although it is disguised).

How about talk about the car, not me, before you take a nice CL vacation. Did you not even READ the part where I agree the interior looks terrific. No, you AVOID that and attack me instead.


Its my opinion, the cars/SUVs are ugly
Element
Accord
Civic
CR-V
MDX
Fit
Pilot (borderline just bland, but now with the Lexus Altezzas, ugly)
Ridgeline

Those are a lot of ugly vehicles. Only Mitusubishi might be worse (their lineup is UGLY except the EVO).

Come on man... MDX, Pilot, Ridgeline and especially Accord are not ugly. They are nice conservative design very well suited for the market. If anything, Accord is much better looking than the Camry, and the MDX is way better looking than 4runner.

The new Civic however has been hit with the ugly stick, and Fit and Element are meant to be ugly - they are made for people that like ugly cars. But so are Scion XB and Yaris.

I don't like that the ignition switch is still on the steering column. When is Honda going to move it to the dashboard like many other manufacturers?

I'm really surprised that it doesn't have standard push-button start.

Honda/Acura has/had at least 3 total cars that I know of that has the ignition switch on the dash board. Two were from 1990/91, and the other was the S2000. Obviously the early 90s models were not push button though.

The actual key hole on the S2000 was not on the dashboard.

I don't think any Acura/Honda vehicles had the ignition switch on the dash. They were all on the steering column. Very unergonomic of them.

My Legend and NSX has it on the right side lower dash just like where it was on my SC400.
