Sorry, but that car is sexy as fuck. There is no bad side to my eye. The way they hid the back door handle is clever and I like the bold body lines. If it wasn't FWD I'd be interested. It is, though, so I will like it with other people in it.

I thought Civic Type R stood for Civic Type RWD?

Wow, so much hate in one thread. People complaining of rice, yet they are ok with this abomination...



As least the Civic will be faster than a stock Camry.

You assume we're OK with that... Give me a beautiful EK9 over the new one anyway (though I am glad Honda still shows some signs of life)

Nope don't like it either, not a fan of the stick on aero, I do like the color though.

So was my 2001 Chevy Astro, but that doesn't prove much...

Someone better call Subaru and tell them Honda ripped off the park bench inspired ricewing.

Rear axle downforce, so vital for fail wheel drive. LOL

Honda, the diehard front wheel drive car company. Why not just put SH-AWD in there and show you mean more than a fancy Mazdaspeed 3?

After owning 5 new Acuras and then a new Honda, they lost me.

At least the Fit and the N Box are impressive for their respective niches.

When did the twins ever have street credit? Minivan by 3 lengths? Day one (and before) production they were slow.

Honda will not be swayed from their love of wrong wheel drive. They tease with stellar rear wheel drive cars, then kill them and try to pass off the same souped up econobox bullshit they always peddle. Nope.

These cars are apples and oranges.

Since when are we bothered by FWD coupes?

You need to spend a bit of time in a proper FWD car before making comments like that!

Its not bad. Its still FWD though. No thanks.


If I were to get a compact hot hatch, I'd hold out for the Focus RS
