Some tailights we might have to get used to seeing!

If it is true, we had better look out for these guys cause they will be out looking to kick sand in our faces!

And yeah...still don't want one cause FWD, but hey, they are going to be fast. Toyobaru might have to step up to the Turbo plate after all, if they want to maintain any street credibility.


"...a US version of the Civic Type R is in the works. The salient part of the Type R that would make the oceanic voyage to US showrooms would be the 2.0-liter turbo four that's said to produce between 276 and 320 horsepower, ..."

I can only assume the front looks like the ass-end of a bull. At least if logic is in play.



Imagine that bearing down on you from behind!

Interesting.

Used to love Integras and Preludes. It's about time they come back to the plate.

I'll believe it when I see it (from Honda). Until then, I've seen rumours come and go and still only have the Civic SI. Not that I see any need to jump ship.

Mmmmm torque-steer!

Yeah, those puppies will be quick, but we'll still be faster on short track.

Pre-uglied from the factory. Don't care about the sand, as my reproductive organ is large enough that I don't worry about someone else in a faster or better car.

Full-retard on that wing. RB will have to work hard to "improve" on the way that looks.

The civic Type R IF* it gets stateside will just be in name. It will not be the same R as in other countries.

I guess I need to paraphrase myself one more time.....

Personal opinion here, but it wouldn't matter to me if the Civic Type R did 0-60 in 0.1 seconds, and got around the track faster than the Stig in a pod-racer, that is just not an attractive car.

(I also said this on this forum about the Abarth, and the Renault Megane. Maybe its "hot hatches" I don't really like)

Hence the "R" spec. Well, it's either retard or rice. Maybe both?
