IS F-Sport grill vs a monster's mouth.

Been the running gag since the first photos been leaked.

If the other drivers see the Predator coming up behind them in their rear view mirror there is a higher chance they'll get out of my way! That's not a bad thing.

I like the aggressive look. It might be ugly to some but I do notice cars in front of me get out of my way or don't cut me off as much as in my little Fit. It happens so much in the Fit that I installed a dashcam just in case.

It's true. I find that most people get out of the way even though I'm not speeding or tail gating them. Random cars like to pace me though like the Highlander yesterday that tried to race me when I had my grandpa in the back seat. Wtf.

Ive driven 100mph+ with my 88 yo grandpa at the back seat. He seemed to enjoyed it. Wish he is still around to see the 3is, I know he'd like it.

It's so true! I had an AP1 before the Fit, the first thing I noticed in the Fit was getting cut off. I get in the IS, people move out of the way.

What's AP1? I do love how the grill is very fierce tho. Every time I'm hanging out with friends, they always complement how aggressive it looks.

as for Honda Fit, I love that car. I remembered once I fit 11 people in it and drove across town. No problems on the suspension after all that. It also huge in the inside and super reliable.

AP1, first run of the S2000 with the 2.OL that goes up to 9,000rpm. That car also had its critics with the front looking like a snake.

the critics weren't too thrilled about the audit front bumper designs either.. but time went on, ppl accepted it and then jumped on the bandwagon to liking it. the same has or will occur for the lexus spindle grills.

That's more likely due to the fear of damaging a Lexus vs a Honda and insurance, I seriously doubt anyone is intimidated by a 306hp, 3600lb sedan. Maybe if it had 2 more cylinders. I love mine but let's be real.
