New Honda Livery?

ro_chez

Mmm, I dont know whether I like this or not! Anyhoo, snazzy livery or not they're not looking too fast in pre season testing!!

Jonny Arson

Well the official unveiling of the new car is tomorrow so we'll see whether that is the real livery or not!

If you go to the website on the rear wing, it says launching Tuesday morning!

Ghost Train

wasn't sure what the design was meant to be at first, from the side it looks interesting, but a little bit ugly overall, maybe on the track it will look better

i do like the idea of no advertising though *thumbs up*

Hmmm, looks a bit like a camouflaged woodland hunting animal of some sort. Its prey would want to be deaf mind.

It looks like god threw up on it. I am massively disapointed being a Honda fan. All this save the earth nonsense does my head in, so hypocritical as well in a sport like F1. should have kept it black or classic white and red honda colours. Not only are we probably gonna be crap this season but we will actually look stupid doing it. Embarassing.

First thing my brother said when he saw it was "whose sponsoring you this season seaworld?

They should of given the hippy livery to Super Aguri and keeping a proper livery for the main car.

I think that looks very good . Although I think its a bit dissappoi8nting that they havent kept some semelance of the old colours. They must be loosing millions not having any sponsoring on their car!!

trendkill

the idea apparently is for viewers to click on myearthdream.com and then pay through paypal to have their name on the car... like a government petition... a very fast government petition...... Look there's my name.... right next to the tiny screwhole!!

As far as I know you don't have to pay to put your name on the car, you just have to make a pledge to do something like no leave appliances on stand-by or walk short journeys. Your also asked to make a donation to multi million dollar corporation? but its optional.

Would have absolutely loved to see a plain all white car with just the red circle in the middle. That would have looked so great. Failing that the black testing colours also looked class. As it stands at the moment it just looks laughable.:mad:

The minimum pledge is £1GBP and the pay page looks incredibly dodgy!

Will the top ten cars in qualifying still do that stupid fuel burn thing this yr again. Honda and their save the world crap are taking the piss, if in F1 they still try to pointlessly burn fuel in as least a fuel efficient way possible during the top 10 shootout.

Ha ha I never even thought of that. Highlights how much of a joke the whole thing is. They are asking us to cycle to work instead of drive or turn off the water while we brush our teeth, the amount of fuel they burnt last year during quali just for credits could probably take me to and from work in my car for the next 1000 years. Again it is embarassing.:mad:

Edwardius

well this whole "environmental impact of motorsport" is bull****. Apparently flying a jumbo to Australia uses more fuel than a year's worth of motorsport in Britain. Now it's generally accepted that blighty is one of the most ridiculously motorsport crazy places on the planet (F1 belt inaround Banbury for example) so the impact of a few cars burning fuel 17 times a year (plus testing) is dwarfed by the amount of fuel used to transport the cars around the globe. The only point in any environmental crap in f1 cars is so that developments made in such a field may, at some point, filter down to road cars.

Another of Honda's dodgy marketing ploys. Isn't this one courtousy of the Spice Girls former manager? Just a cover up to hide their lack of title sponsership.

They are hoping to make even more millions from the idea that buying a new car from them will help save the planet

Yeah, because Honda really don't want people to drive! :rolleyes:

Its all marketing bullcrap that will be sucked in by the masses. Buy a new hybrid car and save the planet - don't worry about the carbon footprint from making it!
