Seems cool, that a good amount power for that car, but I do not like the rear at all, looks like a prius.

Should be AWD.

Looks like a little hot tamale! Love the overall looks... appears very nimble... but not crazy about the viper-ish fender flare funk. 'Could do w/o the bulge myself (was never a fan of the pumped up Miata flares either).
But don't get me wrong..... I really like this little devil. Good on you Honda. Could this be the start of something new from our favorite car maker???? Doing new things in a little more daring fashion? Dare I say??? Here's hoping.

I think it looks good. Probably the first good looking Honda in a while. But 310hp in a FWD car? Gross. I'll be interested to see what the reviewers say about torque steer, or if Honda limits boost in the first 2 gears like the Mazdaspeed3 does.

I might actually look at one of those. But only if if they offer a wing delete option. :act024:

I've never cared for civics, they have there purpose and do well at it just not my cup of tea. That civic on the other hand has got to be a blast to drive plus pretty decent mpg if you can stay out of the throttle.

I'm sure there is one with his name on it.

I'd rather have the Ford Focus RS.

I'd rather have the Ford Focus RS.

I agree, plus it is AWD.

 

[beatle]

I didn't even know the Focus RS was going to be available here. About time. I think the Civic will be seriously outclassed.

 

[Carsmak]

I'd take a SH-AWD Acura ILX with that motor. Since the ILX is all new in 2016, I wouldn't be surprised if they go that route. We can only hope

This Civic Type R just broke the record for FWD vehicles at Nurburgring.

Just... yeah, well... consider it a relative term.

Haha, just messing with you.

It looks like a fun car that's for sure. I can only think what's it's potential would be if Honda would've made it AWD.
