Hmmm… take a Euro Civic, make it a coupe, and suddenly you have a Type R worth blogging about?

I love the design of the Euro Civic, but surely the “Type R” range needs more work than just new rims, two doors less, and an engine change?

Look at the previous generation of type Rs, the of the civic and integra type r’s were both unique from the “regular” line-up… this one isn’t.

i think they wont use shawd in the civic….goes against the type r motto. sure it will be a nice handling car, but it will be the electronics doing the driving. the civic made its name being an FF car and more so for the civic type r.

no point to give a final judgement for a car with black duct tape on it (especially spyshots)… for the triangle design theme, actually you can see those triangular exhausts and foglamps in Standard honda civic euro…usually it takes longer time for public to accept innovative/breakthrough design, it was proven by BMW 5 series as you can see many 5 series on the road now…however, for some people it is still a freaking ugly car…

Personally I think the euro civic is very futuristic and innovative. The interior is like Honda’s concept itself: man-maximum, machine-minimum; Small car with big space..but a bit shock as it’s not going to have SH-AWD..maybe to cut the cost down?

oh ya…what makes Honda so successful is the power of dreams…and why should i stop dreaming….?!?

The Euro Civic and the Asia-Pac Civic has diffferent “face”. Asia Pac Civic has similiar exterior design to the US Civic, with some minor difference.

Europeans in general prefer Hatchs over sedans for their smaller to medium size cars. Examples are Vauxhall/Opel Astra and Ford Focus, plus the numerous Peugeot/Citroen . Most are 3/5 door hatches

BTW The car shown is a two door, surprising since some misinformed forummers were saying , I quote, “Nobody makes 2 door cars anymore, only for prestige marques”. Surprisingly they are on this thread but since the car in question is not a Proton they have mostly positive comments..

weird…

tbcheese,

Yes, the one that i happened to come across is hybrid with 1.3L engine.

oh yeah MyBoy you’re right. They do sell the saloon version. But it’s only available as hybrid.

It’s not on their website too MyBoy. But I might still be wrong.

My opinion, it looks down right ugly compared to other hot hatches like the Ford Focus RS. I was hoping that the front design follows the CIVIC Modulo that was displayed during the recent KLIMS06. But then again beauty is subjective and overtime, one gets used to the design of the car.

OF COURSE we will get this car. I have no doubt in my mind that Naza already has a few orders for it as we speak. only problem is, we’re probably looking at RM230K and above to buy one.

I like this car a lot, it’s wide stance and all, though some may say that it has a fat ass. It looks really cool and futuristic.

Huyoo.. dasatlah ini keta… look very radical.. like sporty horn beetle…. Honda is no1 in car innovative design… Gransazer & masked rider faiz is sponsered by HONDA… so their cars look so futuristic.. like japan super heros car oso…

ps: Malaysia should has its own super hero, Masked Driver Bolehman… poton can sponsor…

The rear suspension is a tortion beam type. So there is a concern if that impact performance.

German grounds?

That’s a UK registration plate..

Our Civic has always been different anyway, I love the old 2.0 civic type-r.

traditionally, the honda type R’s dont sell well in europe, i have no idea why. they called the EP type R civic, a fast bread van in the UK.

I’m not too keen with this model as well. looks big and bulky.

Such retro design definately a big hit in State, but not for Malaysian market from my point of view.

They do sell the saloon.

By: tbcheese

tbcheese — Mon, 19 Jun 2006 21:19:53 +0000

actually I don’t think they sell the saloon model here in uk. All civics I’ve seen here are hatchbacks. corollas too for that matter.
