why there isnt any news on the other automotive site?? good btw.. my new dream car

[Street_Dreamer]

very nice looking car, don't know if i'd pick one over the smaller Clio 197 or the Golf GTi

[brandisher]

That is nice!!

Is the spoiler a carbon fiber top or is that just black?

My word. I like that a lot. The closest we got to that here is the limp Civic Type-S, with the 158bhp 2.0 engine.

mmm... nice. all you need to do is take off the semi-retarded spoiler and then it'll be respectable.

Don't you have the Civic Type R also, since you're in England? What are you complaining about, we get no Type R's here at all in America.

Actually, I saw this a couple days ago at this Honda Forum. I just didn't want to post them cause they have watermarks and stuff like that.

I'm talking about one with 4/5 doors! The Type-R is 3 only.

[NSXType-R]

Ok, fine but it's still better than none at all.

And now you Brits could get the 4 door Type R as well. Lucky you guys.

hmm i hate the new look of the civic but this one actually looks pretty good. now all they gotta do to make me buy it is add AWD and maybe a turbo

[Vindesh17]

That is one of the best looking Civics I have ever seen.

[Gtek-i]

o man...that is sooo aggresive. Damn Honda for not giving us any of their good stuff

[PerfAdv]

Only makes sense to have a 4-door hi-po Civic, something we've never seen before...

Would the new Si sedan be equivalent to the Civic Type R?
