Wow, harsh criticisms about the person who was performing next to the NSX.
Anyways I'm guessing that most of you folks have not been to Japan recently, since that particular look is not that far off from what you would see on a weekend from guys walking in any major Japanese cities. (the only exception would be the all white look which you would not see).
Guess it just shows the cultural differences across countries and the differences in how the marketing departments work in different countries.
Anyways, the person that you are all criticizing looks to me like Nishikido Ryo, who is an "Idol" in Japan, as big of a name as you can probably get in Japan. Given that the younger generation of folks in Japan are not that much into vehicles anymore it seems like a wise move from Honda Japan.
BTW: I'm typing this from Osaka of all places... LOL

Car looks better in white, but those wheels.....

I can't imagine why they would have that fruitcake prancing and flitting around the car to that doofy music. What are they thinking?
Err, I believe that he was performing to is the equivalent to a xmas jingle/carol of sorts, and the all white looks that the performer had just goes with the theme. Anyways it's all marketing to the intended target audience.
In the US you had Jay Leno and Jerry Seinfeld , they would mean close to zero in the Japanese market if they were used as spokespersons for the NSX in the Japanese market.
I guess if they had Dori Dori (Tsuchiya) some of you would be a whole of a lot happier, LOL.
Anyways, it's all about context...
