Type R and VTEC owners

The NSX looks fantastic, the Type R? Not so much

 

[loltim]

WTF at this presenter. Why does he keep saying which would we choose, NSX or Civic, like they're priced similarly.

 

[rodenal]

Evo and Autocar have the pics up now, it just looks all kinds of wrong from every angle. Stuff stuck on everywhere

People who sell cars are such time wasters for potential buyers and themselves... I went to see some EP2's today which were terrible and one was cat. d the guy wanted 2.2k for it lol. The funny thing is that most don't even list obvious things which you are hard to notice on pics, but once you see the car they stick out...

BTW The new NSX looks nice, at least they didn't ***** that up

So the new CTR does 0-60 in a claimed 5.7sec, only 0.4 sec or so quicker than predecessors with 100bhp less. I guess it might actually be faster than that, but still the figures are not wow just like looks.

It still has the same ancient torsion beam suspension, LOL, this isn't a Honda, its British Leyland successor which will have the same build quality, no one will buy this crud.

 

[ChrisD.]

Sub 6 seconds is pretty impressive for FWD in all honesty.

 

[nicRob]

Focus RS is also 5.7 with 300hp, managed 5.55 in my car with 300ish, so it's about right really. Will be a lot quicker than previous models once moving.

 

[ChrisD.]

Might have to cam up my S2000 so I can keep up with people who buy one.

It's the same rear as a Megane R26R...

JDM and Euro? So euro looks ugly and JDM is the nice prototype which everyone was hyped out about? Why can't we just get the JDM instead of this ugly euro version grr...

 

[chroniclard]

Thats just the concept. Actual car looks cheap and pants.

Ok, so I got the wrong idea than... I thought there's an JDM and Euro version.

 

[Dave85]

This looks terrible compared to the concept and teasers. So disappointing.

 

[mccarf]

Looks garbage compared to the concept.

If I pay £2400 or £2500 for http://www.gumtree.com/p/honda/55-reg-honda-civic-1.6-vtec-sport-cosmic-grey-not-type-r-/1102715870 would you still consider this as a rip off? I don't think she'll go that low, there's always http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201501190273668 But than again its going to be hard negotiating the price. There's nothing to use as an argument to lower down the price...

 

[Havana_UK]

By Jeebus that's one ugly car!

I mean, it's certainly fast, but SOOOO ugly.

[sityeuropa]

I'm all confused. I don't know if I like it or not.

 

[Noxia]

Hopefully there are some tasty Mugen aero parts to sort the looks out. Not that impressed at all with the looks. I'd have to like everything about a car to buy it new.

 

[rjk]

I honestly think my FN2 with full mugen kit looks better

it looks pretty much the same.

- wing looks frankly, identical.
- rear bumper looks dead similar but with double the amount of pointless exhaust tips.
- bonnet slope looks identical
- headlight shape is similar
- rear arches look similar
- fenders have similar flares to the mugen fn2 on the left

Check your trust

I do hope you're having a private conversation and not trying to flog stuff in this thread again...

 

[Noxia]

I like the more subtle look of the new Focus RS tbh, maybe I'm gravitating away from lairy designs as I get older, they all said it would happen!
