Exactly , and the water spins the wrong way down the toilet.
My son recently totalled his fwd corolla in the rain , down under in the kangaroo country.
So fwd with big power = big slides into new and uncharted real estate!

Well FWD is never Corolla's forte, leave that to Honda.

I guess now you're probably trying to find your son one of these gems.

If they were to do an ad like this in modern times with the Civic Type-R I guess most of its body bits would have fallen off by the finish line.

Why didn't Honda put SH-AWD onto this car but automatic rev matching?

ikuGANO · 07-05-2017, 02:16 PM

Glad I switched over to the Toyobaru side from Honda, unfortunately I will end up seeing all the manufacturer defects and common issues since I am the warranty admin for my Honda dealer...

As I make my way to the bar, my memory isn't exceptional but can recall the Neon SRT and Cobalt SS's sort of put the Civics on a more even keel. If it was a Grand Turismo video game competition, maybe Honda wanted one more shot at a trophy.

Since it is a type R.

Also weight issues/cost issues.

Finally got around to stopping by my local Honda dealer for a quick photo shoot of all new Type R. This one is not for sale right now and is for viewing pleasure only. They have had several offers from all over Canada as high as $8K over sticker. Very cool looking car and quite menacing in black. I personally wouldn't pay this kind of money for a Honda, let alone FWD. Love the looks though, but on paper the RS makes more sense to me

Enjoy!

^^^Needs more low

God that rear end is atrocious.

funwheeldrive · 07-18-2017, 02:18 PM

I like the carbon fiber on the side skirts. I bet they scuff easily though.

Rampage · 07-18-2017, 02:23 PM

Ummm, I like the interior.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the CF is fake. Looks like that 4D or 5D carbon, which actually looks pretty good for fake
So anyone who pays thousands of dollars over sticker for this car, I would congratulate them on their new Honda Type R dressed in fake CF. For this kind of money, the carbon should be real lol
