New Honda Civic Type-R

It has grown on me, and it sounds like it's a serious machine.
I really want an FK2 at the mo'.

It didn't feel as though we got very long of the FK2;

Before they hit us with that new thing (that looks horrific!)

The above fk2 i like - not keen on the latest addition.

That new type r is horrendous. Looks like it has been styled in the dark. Shocking

Same as the last one. Don't care what it does (and ring times have got a bit pointless), it just looks a bit stupid. Aesthetics don't bother me a great deal, but I'd feel a total weapon in one of those.

I'm not sure whether I prefer it to the outgoing one because it looks better or whether it's because Honda teased us with an epic concept and produced that s**t Danny posted

Im a big type R fan but im not sure where their going with this, the latest/last version only seams to have been out ten minutes and I was just getting used to the over bearing looks of that.
Now this.

I didn't mind it until I saw the three exhausts. One of which seems to be a different size to the other two. Why was the last one only out a year?

It was pretty late on in that platforms life when it was brought to the table iirc

They've absolutely plummeted in value also!

Is this one a new platform or a facelift?
New platform. 70% stiffer chassis than the outgoing platform which was around since 07 essentially. The new car will be a good one. Even the standard cars will be good.

Sadly no one is going near a fwd car like that when you have the golf r and FRS out there.

Ah that's good. They did release the type r very late into that model.

I must concur. The kids who want it won't be able to afford it and the people who can afford it will be too old for 'hardcore' fwd hatchbacks.

I feel scene for just saying hardcore. I don't like it

Give it a few years & they (FK2) will be the most sort after Uk type r.
Limited numbers due to late introduction, much much better than the FN2 it replaced.

Would love a grey one!

I like it. Yes it isn't "pretty" as such, but it's brash and doesn't do anything other than scream about how hardcore it is. While everyone else is trying to be mature and generate mass appeal, Honda are sticking two fingers up and creating genuinely silly and interesting cars. I applaud them for that. I didn't like the FK2 when it came out, but I find myself craving one more and more.

I like it too, it looks like a futuristic dc5, i bet it's awesome to drive.

We moan at how 'normal' hot hatches are becoming, and we moan at how 'stupid' they look, manufacturers cant win.

The back end looks horrific, probably better in grey or black. It definitely not hiding its purpose in life.
On the other hand I read that renault are going for a more discreet look with the next megane rs.

The only upshot is nobody will buy them, and in 2024 there'll be a thread with a barn find with one, underside shots and all - never driven. You'll all be appreciating it then.
 
like the new one. Guy in work has a 16 plate type r. It looks gash on screen but wicked in the flesh.
got it in white too, just looks bonkers. On the other hand spotted a new focus RS and other than the rear spoiler it doesn't look much different when driving along to an ST.
I like the bonkers angles on the type r, stands out. The fn2 was just odd looking.

Wow Honda don't f**k about, cant believe there wheeling them out already.
I think once I see one in the flesh ill like it more.
