Well I like it . . . . :lol: It's a :thumbsup: from me :D

Love the purpose and aggression and there's lots of special detail to take in, which I also like.

For me, I'd want more of the red lines and highlights, used on the rear wing, on the side and bonnet to tie it all together.

Be a bit much for shopping at Tescos but as a car design it reminds me of things I used to draw and dream about as a kid . . .

But then I never entirely grew up :D

ha I think that's why I like it! Modern cars are all so good that they're almost boring so I guess I like seeing a car that excites the 9 year old in me..

Now THAT is a great shout, Massive soft spot for the CRX. I think thats part of it, the hot hatch game has moved on so much where it's becoming hard to keep up and without the added wankology of vtec I guess its true to say they're compensating some ability with outright ostentatiousness to a degree..

I'd love to have a blast around a track in one and I'd defiantly be checking it out if I saw it out on the road but I won't be saving the pennies any time soon. Just my take on it.

The current gen civic looks like it would roll all the way to the crash barriers around a fast tight bend :poke:
I've just done the "Race Car Experience " at Knockhill and did four laps in a '16 Civic and after driving most of the previous models I have to say that this is a massive leap forward, it stuck to the road like glue and a fair turn of speed up the straight, superb driving position and very easy to go fast. The very latest model in the pic is 10bhp up on the model I drove
What do you mean "defiantly be checking it out" ?

And people say the 1 Series is a minger, it's a swan in comparison :)

It's one of the worst looking cars since the Austin Maxi.

Just a minute Tim . . . I remember the Maxi being a sensation when it came out - that hatchback door - WOW! :o

AND it had 5 gears - we all swooned!! :cry: :rofl:

Sounds like great fun and that it's got your approval performance wise.

Sorry I meant definitely checking it out. I'm always admiring other cars around me at lights etc, and I'd definitely be admiring one of these if it rolled up next to me even if it's not a car I'd have any interest in owning :)

Not a fan of the current gen10 styling however this ringtime battle time is impressive, more so the brave driver, but still impressive...
