This Honda with a BMW front end actually does look nice

edit:This is in fact a JDM, Australian Spec Odyssey as the base of this project
it is called Odyssey and is a completely different and smaller car than we get here.
rear doors are non-sliding /edit

There are better ways to spend money. I never fully understood why people do this.

No, that's the "stance works" crap that everyone is doing these days. Absolutely useless.

Agreed. I'd much rather have the Alpine 5-er estate.

I doubt it.

Stoopit-looking camber, no clearance at all where the wheel rims meet the fenders, so unless it doesn't steer and has no suspension at all...impending disaster. I would LMAO should I ever find that thing at the side of the road all busted up fro running over a manhole cover. How the hell would that thing ever get out of a parking lot without either being on a flatbed truck or destroying the exhaust system?

The kidney grills and headlights look decent but the suspension/wheels are absurd. It looks like someone broke the suspension. Impractical and ugly.

It's on air ride, the car only sits like that when stopped. It raises up for driving.

The lines all flow very well; definitely looks like something that's factory. Ballin' interior too.

Wow, never having seen the stock car, I actually figured that rear end was a cross between taillights from the new S-class, and the pre-facelift 7-series. I was going to be very impressed.

Either way, that car has a lot of skill and money in it. Not exactly my taste but I kinda dig it.
