I can't even bring myself to post a picture of it. It's so disgraceful it's as if Honda is attempting to travel back in time and kill my love for Honda in the 1990s.
I think they are trying to gain visibability for a future BRZ/FR-S competitor. It's just a matter of time before we see a new Mazda, Honda and Nissan car entering the fray.
This "concept" though looks like they pulled it out of a storage closet that was locked in 2009.
Me: It can't be THAT bad
<googles it>
Me: Wow, they think that is an updated design? I agree with Blixa, looks like it has a retainer on. I think they realized there IS a market for cars like the BRZ and now they are trying to bring back a 1st gen S2k to compete with it... ya, good luck with that...

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.
Translation - Honda realized they shot themselves in the foot by killing the S2K off in a time when the light(er)weight, fun to drive roadster market is heating up, and that the CR-Z is the Mario-circa-Super-Mario-2 of cars (ie - it does everything, but nothing particularly well).
