Honda will stand by front wheel drive unless you splurge for the NSX. Good thing there are other options in the market.

+1 It is a shame that it's not making its way out to the US.

After looking at it some more, I'd be satisfied if we just got a 3-door or 5-door Civic.
LONG LIVE THE HATCH!

I would be interested if it were in the states. Simply to legally own a CTR at some point that wasn't 20 years old would be great.

I guess this is meant to go head-to-head against the Focus RS and Renault Megane Trophy-R. Pretty cool to see Honda stepping up finally.
But I'm more interested in the rumored mid-engine, RWD S2000 replacement.

They should hand off design to the same group that penned the new NSX. That's the best looking Honda in a LONG time.
