Pretty neat little car. Shame you can't get it here in the US. It's intercooled too.

Honda Mid-Engine, 4WD, Turbo Car

Vehicles like that probably would not sell well in the U.S. although similar vehicles (Scion/Toyota ist and bB) may indicate otherwise. I heard the Honda Fit may come over there ~ mebbe we'll get a taste of the L-series motors. Turbo 4WD doesn't mean it's gonna hang with the WRX or Evo though 
Nah, you're right, not with the HP it has.
But I still bet it's real fun to drive - particularly on a tight little road course. With that low-slung engine under the back seat and with 4WD and all.

Well, yeah, it is kind of ugly. I wasn't really commenting on the style. I guess I was referring to the drivetrain.
I didn't know that Honda made another mid-engine sporty vehicle. And one with an intercooled turbo and 4wd to boot.

hahaha if you call this "sporty." Honda made a number of turbo and/or mid-engine cars, but none of them are really spectacular. Kinda reminds me of those tiny Daihatsu turbos ~ they're fun in their own respects, but we'd probably be more interested in the S2000 or something.
