    If the front of the last car was changed along with the colour scheme, it wouldn't look half bad.

    I think the third one has potential.

    I think they are all ugly and badly proportioned.

    Number 1 is just wrong

    Number 2 came close to being nice but its too small, that huge grill doesnt work on a car of that size.

    Number 3 needs to lose the boot and more

    Number 4 Wtf, how ugly can the front of a car be. dont even get me started on those wheels.

    But thats just my two cents, and I'm no expert. Thats my best guess as to why (Thank God) those cars didnt make into production.

    They're only photoshop jobs, you can't expect the proportions to be exactly right. I suppose you have to imagine how the basic idea would look were it to be properly executed.

    It looks like a poormans Mclaren F1 but in fairness to Honda they know how to build cars and high performance cars at that without all the tedious fiddly stuff that the Italians seem to know all about, like taking out the engine to do the tappets after 3k miles or similar for a timing belt, or having to rebuild an engine after 5 or 6k miles. Hondas just seem to run forever.:)

    Are Honda puting that car into production? I taught it was a concpet without potential to be builth!
    Not that i would mind them building it, its quite nice :D

    This is a car that has been and now in later mk 3 guise. Included are some other cars from this coachbuilders range. Ive seen two of these in this country and I believe there are more of them out there.

    I saw one of those Jaguar/Micras for sale in a garage by the Horse and Jockey recently.... a truly hideous looking thing, completely out of proportion, what where they thinking.:rolleyes:

    I remember reading about them, I think there's only one left, if I recall correctly they handled better on water than they did on land.;) :rolleyes:

    It's rumoured to be the replacement for the NSX, which is another lovely car. I actually know someone that swapped their Ferrari 360 spider for a model 2000 NSX. when I asked them why they said it was a better more exciting car to drive. At the moment I can only dream about driving one, but it's at the top of my wish list at the moment. :)

    This one reminds me of a Peugeot concept car, don't know the name, maybe someone else will, it's rear wheels were set really close together so it was nearly like a 3 wheeler
