    The official images have been released for the new Honda Civic Type-R... looks a lot better than that yellow plastic looking concept version...

    I love the interiors of those cars. The inside of the one in those pics looks a bit busy but the standard version is beautiful inside.

    I would love one of them to be honest

    It's due to be launched in March this year. I believe it will be available here also. There's actually two specs available the standard and the GT. The GT has A/C and automatic wipers and the like, I reckon the prices will be €38K and €40K (damn you VRT)

    I wonder if you will actually see the curves in Black? Red isn't bad TBH.

    As for the back of it, it's not too bad. I mean I think it takes a little getting used to. As for looking like a 206 from the side,maybe, but this is bigger than the 206 so it can carry it. Besides the 206 is a good looking car (from the side anyway).

    Really though you are buying this for the drive, the 201PS and the 0-100km/hr of 6.6 seconds! :)

    PS Also available in white...

    Took these photos in the London Motor Show in July and it does look strange but nice. Pity
