Richf Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Honda sales were up last year , its cars like the H-RV that people buy not type r Civics Quote
Aashenfox Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) ^Yeh, that's a good looking, sporty looking car, even if you might end up getting your postman putting your letters in the exhaust. The Type R should have been this, at least it has 2 doors as well. Another fail, Type R should not have 4 doors. Edited March 7, 2017 by Aashenfox Quote
Zeezeebaba Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Oh dear I don't like that. The current one just about borders on madness in the looks department. Quote
GMballistic Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 I think that new Honda Civic Type R looks really good. The lines follow the flow of the body and give the car an aggressive racing pedigree look. The designers have done a great job of, ....*chuckles* ...no I can't do it. This car is a f***in' mess and even the performance is gash. I mean come on my 08' S3 would beat this thing in a drag race and look better doing it. What have Honda done! Quote
gangzoom Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 This new R looks horrific, cannot quite believe its from the same company that has made the NSX. It looks like they did the homer simpson school of car design, asked a bunch of 10 year old what they wanted and went with it....The new Civic in standard form actually looks alright, but this thing is an utter mess. 2 Quote
Paul K Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 one of my mates has the 2016 CTR, and i though that was hideous, this new one acheives the impossible, and tops it!! 1 Quote
Paul K Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 and apart from anything else, it has all that fancy technology in it, and more power yet its only marginally quicker 0-60 than a 2003 DE!! Quote
Richf Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 The Pulsar doesnt look that special in real life Not crazy about the big plastic pieces on the rear but if it drives as well as is suggested its going to be a good seller , some nice features on the normal civic so seems well thought out My local dealer told me that the Nismo version of the pulsar was now not going ahead when I enquired. Brain fart was thinking about the Nismo Note 1 Quote
un1eash Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 I think I need help, as I like it. Would be a nightmare to clean and wax though. Quote
shaunRS Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 and apart from anything else, it has all that fancy technology in it, and more power yet its only marginally quicker 0-60 than a 2003 DE!! I'd bet once passed 60 it would wipe the floor with it. Quote
davey_83 Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 ^ looks a nightmare to even towel dry with all those vents, intakes & panels haha Quote
BobbyZ Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 It's horrible, but only in the same way that the outgoing one is (albeit worse). Quote
ATTAK Z Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 I saw an early prototype the other day: Those Vauxhalls really are nice Quote
StevoD Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) Looks miles better than the current one atleast it looks like a hot hatch unlike toyota gazoo racing yaris thing Edited March 7, 2017 by StevoD Quote
Sargara Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) The front (grill, scoop, lights etc) reminds me a lot of a Subaru WRX which isn't a bad thing in my opinion. Its just the rear that kills it for me, its too fussy and whats with the big sections of plastic effect mesh? Edited March 7, 2017 by Sargara Quote
Strudul Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Always makes me laugh when a product is aimed at a market that either can't use or can't afford it. Only a 19-25 year old is not going to feel like a plonker getting out of it, and very few people in that age group could reasonably afford to buy it, let alone insure it. "Can't" is the wrong word. They shouldn't be able to afford it, but instead they live at home, get it on finance and rack up some nice debt. How did it compare with the other similar hot-hatches? Aren't the new Type-Rs supposed to be the fastest FWD production cars round The Ring? Quote
Stutopia Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 I like it, it's the sort of thing a sick hot hatch should be. The trip exhausts are a joke though, need to kill the middle tiny one. Quote
Strudul Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) The trip exhausts are a joke though, need to kill the middle tiny one. Until you get to tell people you have a triple exhaust like on an F40 / 458 / LFA Edited March 7, 2017 by Strudul Quote
TT350 Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 I saw an early prototype the other day: Those Vauxhalls really are nice Don't mock. That bad boy could have a sick C20LET in it. Probably not though Quote
StevoD Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Honda arnt the first to do this to a hatchback Agency power made a 3-way for the focus st Quote
Ekona Posted March 7, 2017 Author Posted March 7, 2017 Aren't the new Type-Rs supposed to be the fastest FWD production cars round The Ring? Nope, the stripped out Golf R thing on Cup2s is atm. Quote

Ah right, got it the wrong way round. That's the circuit the Civic isn't fastest, but it holds the record for a load of others. Quote
