There is improvement, however, over the nearly identical blue version of that concept in that the leading edge of the front wheel arch is more pronounced, and there is a definitive horizontal edge from the bottom of the grill opening to the edge of the wheel arch. Both sharpen up the front in a very positive way. In Fact, the green photo shows all creases and edges much clearer, lending the car a more purposeful image.
It's as if, in the blue images, you were supposed to get the impression of there being creases in the metal, without the need to actually put them there...very French feeling, but with a German intentionality to it. The green car takes the same exact style, but sharpens it up...much more Honda, much more Japanese. Exciting? Not particularly, but clean and efficient and purposeful.
I maintain that I would like to see the grill opening of the gray picture incorporated into the design....but the green is much better.
