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

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.

This is my feeling exactly.

It's like they are doing it on purpose. They figure if most people are willing to buy it because it's reliable, then they don't need to make it look nice to sell it anymore.
