I Think Im In Love!

[lingeringsoul]

This has got to be the most funky looking Civic ever designed. Im absolutely in love with it.

[Hulk1010]

Hey I like that, is that just a concept or is it the final design?

[krzysiu]

Thats how it actually looks. They test drove it on Fifth gear. Awesome car

[lingeringsoul]

well apparently its already in the showroom.......

I can't stop going on about how pretty it is to my friends

[Spunky Munky]

funky but not tough looking... but yeah, slick as.... how much will they retail? $35k??

[lingeringsoul]

well no, it's a hatch, it's not supposed to look tough. I can't wait for the crazy japs to get their hands on this one.

unfortunately, this civic is pretty heavy, weighing in at 1300kg.......almost as heavy as my car.

[DECIM8]

Damn im sure removing all the safety features and 12 cup holders they install for the 5 passengers you'll drop it down ..

1300kg bluddy hell 100kg off my 34

[Spunky Munky]

Well, at least you can say.... VTEC yo all the way down to the milkbar... LOL

[DECIM8]

[Nismo Racer]

No Recaro and Momo for the Type R this time around.

[Hungryhippo]

I've always been a fan of the VTEC engine - however, have to say, Honda's releases lately have not impressed me much.

In my mind, come on fellas - our Skylines are best... love them still!!! LOL

They probably won't, because I don't think they'll be seeing this car. The JDM Civic Type-R is a four door sedan. To its credit, it has a more powerful variant of the K20 than the British Civic Type-R hatch, and also has a reinforced chassis (which the one we're getting does not).

Once again we're getting a shithouse Type-R - the DC5 Integra Type-R wasn't the same spec as the JDM car either.

In the UK you could get a special-order lightweight Type R that does without a parcel shelf, audio system and speakers, shaving 40kg off the weight.

Don't know if they would charge more or less for such option.
