I don't know whose car this is, but it is nice! Does anyone have an extra $1500 to spare?

No offense to the owner or anyone who likes this car, but I think it looks like $h1t. I couldn't believe when it was chosen to be the ride of the month. All those carbon parts mess up the nice look of that custom color, not to mention those terrible looking wheels. I could go on, but I don't want to hate...

I just like the wheels, but are they supposed to be flared out like that? I just want them to look normal.

Geez, sounds like nothing BUT hate or maybe jealousy. As great as this Box looks in pictures, they don't do it justice. Plus that's an old pic, there's been so much more done to it since then.

Whatever happened to "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything. Sometimes opinions CAN be kept to yourself...

Everyone is entitled to mod their car the way they like. Not everyone is going to like everyone else's car, why? Because we have our won tastes.

Some like carbon fibre, some don't. Some like chrome, some don't. Some like JDM styling, some don't. Some like VIP, some don't.

If we all had to be alike, it would be Communism all over again.

We are individuals, and we are all supposed to be helping each other out.

These cars are made by Scion, not Honda.

It's mainly the wheels and fender flares that rub me the wrong way. It looks like 80's styling on a new vehicle. It reminds me of these:

^^^^^^^^^^^^That's wrong!^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I know that its a 1974 Celica hatchback, but I miss my 1976 Celica hatchbacks. Those wheels are way too small. I'm surprised there's no wing on the back of it.

nope its custom ralph lauren xolor paint - read up on the "ride of the month" although it is confusing because it looks a bit like camo, but not when compared next to eachother.

and drizzle we can all agree to disagree, i personally agree with the other comment that this car should make ride of the month every month

C'mon Squirrel, A wing on that car would be overdoing it a little. Better to keep the clean lines...
