It's literally two front ends of a first gen Accord welded together. They put so much effort into it, they even blended the body panels, shortened the doors, and changed out the rear "headlights" for red lenses.

I love honda engineers so much.

Is there any actual practical advantage to this, though? It sounds to me like a lot of things waiting to go very expensively wrong, without much in the way of real benefit.

Better handling, better turn radius, better stability control. Definitely correct in saying it adds more to maintainence, though.
