11/10 IGN video!
4 cylinders and supercar performance? If that engine went into an actual supercar, very few enthusiasts would take it seriously, myself included.

While it does sound a bit unorthodox, I wanted to try something different and stray a bit from the norm @abg7 .
JHW will be displaying…something, i think?

The Asura looks like it came straight out of Burnout 3 or Need for Speed Underground, which makes it very dated indeed by today’s standards. Then again, considering that it debuted three decades ago and has remained on sale uninterrupted until now… Surely it’s long overdue for a total redesign with a sleek new body.
As for the Shinobi, it looks much more contemporary, but how can a fixed-head coupe possibly have a powered retractable hardtop? I don’t think it could ever happen. It does show promise, though, but I’d like to see the mechanical specs for it.
Something like this. Not really a convertable.

Ever considered that this might not be the first redesign. “First Introduced” to me indicates that 1989 was the introduction of the nameplate, not the current model. Much like the Nissan Skyline which has been in continuous production since 1957.
