Honestly they could have stroked the engine to 1.7 or 1.8 and tuned it, as well as throw in a beefier electric motor an you would have something in the range of 180 HP at least, as well as still having an absolutely kick ass MPG rating, keeping everyone happy. 180 HP would have been more than enough to please the enthusiasts, considering how light it is, and how excellent the handling is. Honda confuses me sometimes.
Still though, people are hating on the car so much, in my HONEST opinion, it is a true, 21 century updated version of a CRX, cant really complain. People say its a wedge or a shoe. Guess what, so was the old CRX. The japanese model looks really nice, especially the one Onassis posted.
I agree though, the large overhanging nose of the car in the USDM models is kinda ugly, blame the safety standards.
