Is it just me or does that car look exactly like the Evo X concept? Not saying Honda copied Mitsu cause I don't know which came first...But, they look EXACTLY the same IMO!

I think it's just you. It looks pretty different from the Evo X concept, except maybe the interior. The "Dominator" is designed to compete in the Evo-STi market so I'm sure they will be used as a reference group often.

It looks kinda like the EvoX concept, in a way I think its because of the colors released from the EvoX concept(red from the pics I saw) and the certain round-ish look...

I think they look similar too, not exactly the same but they have similar flow. I actually think the back end on that Honda is better looking than the EvoX.

Can anyone translate the PDF? It mentions having 300 PS (296 HP) but I can't tell if it's AWD or not.

Honda won't go TC. Why? It's a warranty headache. Do you think H&A are going to risk their reputation as one of the warranty kings (having cars that last long)?

It may end up being a JDM only again....EVOs and REX only have a 1 year warranty in Singapore.

well, they're taking a risk with that new acura suv. it would be sweet if they came out with some type of turbocharged package for the SI or the S2000.
