It's a Honda, of course it looks rubbish.

Not sure I follow :confused:

None of them really do anything for me aesthetically, I have to be honest. For some reason they all look like cars for kids apart from the NSX...IMO

I appreciate aesthetics aside, they're brilliant cars

Is this replacing the FD2 in Japan? Any news on which markets get which engines for the Type-R version?

Skilid · 16 Aug 2011 at 10:34

I like it. Even though it is the US version.

Weren't they going to stop making Type-R's, due to emissions laws or something?

That's the FN2 CTR in Europe due to the EUROV emission laws. Hoping someone in the know, would know about a new engine, or if a N/A engine will carry on in Japan.

MASSIVE wheels, look like clown shoes :/

blueboy2001 · 16 Aug 2011 at 13:20

Looks like it'll make a decent BTCC car if nothing else.

Another annonoEuroborafocushatch. Dull as ditchwater. Probably more interesting to look at the white goods section in John Lewis.

Honda have really lost their way.

Power of dreams? More like nightmares.

Uriel · 16 Aug 2011 at 13:38

I like it - but then I like the look of the Insight and CR-Z. Same sort of aesthetic really.

Need to see the hatch version as I don't think there'll be many UK saloons about.

Quite like it

Certainly better looking than the FN2.

100% agree.

Doesn't look that bad to me.

Relentless81 · 16 Aug 2011 at 16:05

I like it, will it get some decent engines though, very doubtful, will there be a Type-R version, who knows but its looking unlikely going off Hondas recent trends.

Jonnycoupe · 16 Aug 2011 at 16:43

The USDM Civic Si is getting the K24 so there may be hope yet.

Prefer the FN2 to be honest.

fonzee · 16 Aug 2011 at 18:24

very FD2-ish. :cool:

The USDM market doesnt seem to be affected by Hondas current boredom campaign, just Europe and Japan

I'm really hoping they surprise us though

There's a little bit of FD2-like styling going on there. I quite like it.

This.

I like it.
