Here's an interesting perspective;
My girlfriend says the market they are targeting requires the car to look like it came straight out of the video games. LOL
That's...not inaccurate, I think. I teach at a college with a huge video game development studio; about a quarter of our undergraduates are in the Game Studio, learning to be designers, programmers, artists, and producers. Though my academic background is in history and political science, for years I also worked in the game industry, mostly as a magazine editor, journalist, and writer, though I did small bits of design and writing for games. The demographic of gamers, players and creators, is shifting from all white males to a much more diverse spectrum of people, but it still is pretty heavily centered on young males with tastes that line up exactly with this Honda.
These young people read manga and anime, exhaustively. They obsess about Japan, still. Their aesthetics are shaped by otaku culture and Nintendo (think spiky hair, angles, wild colors and proportions). I'm generalizing, but yeah, I think this car will nail that demo spot-on. Given that the kids we graduate go on to make good money in their fields, I'm betting dollars to donuts that some of them will be driving these monstrosities soon
