What, if anything, is so special about the Hondajet?

Sitting in night-stop hotelroom, caught a segment of Top Gear where that bloke from Friends flies in a Hondajet.
Apart from the unconventional engine configuration (so?) it looks like any other VLJ to me. Is it so revolutionary in comparison to, say, a Phenom or a Mustang? It was marketed as ‘revolutionary’ implying perhaps, that it is a jet-powed car replacment. But it’s hardly that, is it? I’m not knocking the aircraft, just don’t understand what’s do revolutionary about it.
