Yikes...that's kinda ugly. Especially in that first pic. That damn black plastic and the proportions are screwy.

Thanks for the pic. Definitely looks best in darker colors. Those fake vents are awful though.

Sorry for the low quality because this is on a moving car and cellphone quality.

quality was plenty....it's certainly a different visual than the sedan and coupe doesn't even look like the same model face back.

No one wants to come right out and say it but design-wise, this car is a bit of a mess. I know Honda wants to be more edgy because the 9th gen was considered dull but they just went a bit too "out-there" on the hatch. The sedan and coupe are simply more cohesive.

Plus, the trim levels are just odd. You can get an EX turbo with premium features and a MT on the upcoming '17 coupe and sedan but not the hatch. Makes no sense at all. Manual drivers are limited to the models lacking many basic amenities like variable intermittent wipers that are in virtually every car sold in the world. No heated side mirrors, either. No Carplay. Small infotainment screen. No sunroof. It's as if Honda is thumbing their noses at enthusiasts.

Not all enthusiasts want bare bones. I really thought my next car would be this hatch. Now it's between the coupe or sedan.

Ugh. I really wanted a with a paint color instead one of the 5 shades of grey that are offered. But those black trim pieces are hideous on a blue car. Will have to go see it in person.
