I'll let someone else earn the red badge of courage flying this
aircraft. After twenty years, if there haven't been too many
accidents, maybe it can be considered safe.

I notice in the photo gallery, the only mention of safety shows a
photo of an emergency exit. There are zillions of pictures of the
cabin, but only one of the flight deck. Clearly, the audience is the
rich businessman and the pilots are merely servants.

The HondaJet cockpit configuration provides a high degree of
integration for enhanced situational awareness, functionality, ease of
operation, redundancy, and flight safety.

I don't know about the last part, but time will tell.

When did Honda become a significant name in aviation?
