Never really was a fan of these POV road tests, but looks like an amazing car regardless.

Not a fan of the reviewer and his content. Perhaps it's just me

Agree, the first 5 minutes are tough. The in car review is better. I could plug the key in myself... not that big of a stretch. In sport sounds a lot like a Subie STi.... not sure I learnt much more though... cool colour nonetheless.

If the red was only as sharp & menacing as Acura's pretty much candy red NSX...

I certainly agree with the reviewer's complaints about the Gear indicator
I like the carbon bits in the Protonic version His comments about charging the DisplayKey are mostly irrelevant. I charge mine wireless on a standard wireless pad, plugged into my PC's USB occasionally. That's all it needs, once every couple of months. |

I hope the refresh has an interior w more carbon. And there's nothing worse than fake carbon accents or poorly laid visible CF.
