yea same with me. The first one, the white one looked really good imo. That new civic is really growing on me. I'd like to see what the type R is gona be like

5500

Have they not done away with the type R on the new model?Or maby the Si is "americanised" as a type R as it says it uses a 2litre vtec engine which i presume is whats in the current EP type R.

Only thing im not so sure about is the rear of them,they look kind of bubblish

I dont have a clue, maybe somone else can fill us in. I hope not

No they haven't. Big write up in Top Gear Mag a couple of months ago ill dig it later tonight and then post the specs.

I rememeber something about there being one model that was highly tuned and would be called Type - RR.

Yeah, I have to admit the new Civic is growing on me too! I didn't like it at all at first.. but the Coupe model looks pretty cool.

Not sure about the other models though.. hatch looks a bit crap. EK is still the best.

Yes very nice car

Not sure about front end looks really bad i think
if that was fixed in my opinion it would be a very nice car

overall shape is ok
spoiler blends in well

grade= a-

Sniff*

They've made it good again

Thanks to those beautiful people at Honda.

Just need to slightly elongate the bonnet... just maybe 1 foot or a half. More like the 350Z

drdre

the car looks savage,cannot wait to see the type r

Here's the article i saw about the end of type R production



Notice at the end it says "however,bosses are evaluating a hot 3 door model"
My guess is that the civic Si in the first post is that "hot model",it seems to be using the EP type R engine but with a different badge + the rest

Ratchet

bye bye civic type r


here is the non-type :eek: r replacement



OMG

5500

The rear is horrible,theres also like a mid boot spoiler that just makes it look worse.

Ive seen pictures of the saloon version and its not much better either,all i suppose we can hope for is the Si coupe that the yanks are getting to land over here.

I have heard from reliable sources the Type-R Civic will be back.

Nothing confirmed, but I would trust the people who told me.

i just can't see type r in that shape. i say it will all depend how SI would be selling and this doesn't mean we will see one in europe.

just remember that Integra Type R was sold in europe for two years only and they were thinking about selling civic typer in europe for long long time before happened
