197 and new type r

[muffs]

Just wondered if anyone has seen the pics of the new type r yet and what they thought of it compared to new 197???

I think it looks ok but probably not to everyones taste!!!!!

 

[Wan82]

new type r looks far better in my opinion. the aggresive poise to the ctr is what does it for me.

 

[Justin]

i agree, 197 looks like a yaris

 

[mij29]

don't like the new clio at all. The 172/182 looks loads better apart from the picture of a white 1 some 1 posted on here.

 

[muffs]

yeah i think the new type r looks pretty mean.. dont think there out for ages yet though!!!!

 

[Ad]

new type R even though its likley to cost more...

 

[sh33n]

Neither, wait for the new teg

 

[Clarkie172]

not keen on the back of the civics though!

^ I don't think the road one will be so hardcore. Aren't they keeping the same engine as the current one too?

 

[al]

I think it'll be more or less exactly that same as the concept.

Look at the standard Civic, the production version was exactly the same as the concept.

Same engine as current but lighter car IIRC.

 

[JBarber]

I reckon the wheels will be smaller and certainly no tints.

 

[aj182]

On looks i'd say the civic but we'll have to wait and see what they drive like. I'd say it will look like the concept. Anyone else heard anything about there being a type r r?

 

[DesignPunk]

197's look crap, gimme a 172/182 any day over them

 

[RuFF21]

id sell my pinky finger for that type r, love it

the 197 looks like its french, with no british design....

 

[theduck]

i heard something about a type-rr cant remember if it was a lesser or superior model tho...

 

[The Hoff]

Type-RR is the even more hardcore version.

 

[aj182]

Yeah I thought so, will be interesting to see. I loved the previous type r but it's a bit long in the tooth now.

 

[sh33n]

Type-RR is the even more hardcore version.

If they do make that of course, not likely I reckon.

 

[The Hoff]

Not sure lad, but seems unlikely for road car purposes. Maybe just a motorsport spin-off perhaps.

 

[al]

A new sleeker more aerodynamic bread van

 

[AnthonyR]

I like the front of the R but the rear. i can cry about it. The car is not a civic anymore but more a enterprise ship..

 

[JoelDee]

CTR does it for me, new clios gash imo

 

[jayxx83]

I think its going to have 18" wheels as opposed to those 20"'s in the pic there and defo be using the old engine.

 

[The Bear]

Type-RR is the even more hardcore version.

Think I'll wait for the ultra-hardcore and agressive Type-GRR

:evil:

[tameracingdriver]

I dont think the rumours about the "Type RR" are true.

Am I the only one who thinks "Type RR" sounds crap?

 

[Englebert]

They use it on the bikes i think?

The Civic is an atrocity, it oozes chavocity. I look forward to posting some patronising comments if anyone gets one.

 

[Wan82]

is it just me being a sad old b*****d but does anyone think the front of the CTR looks like a Centurian from the original battlestar galactica series?

the continuous glazed light feature looks like the eye with the moving red thing.

 

[JBarber]

or knightrider LOL

 

[theduck]

personally i think it looks like an 80's concept car gone wrong

 

[Thomss]

Deff like it other the 197 though.

 

[The Bear]

Yeah I'd rather buy that than the 197.

 

[Brad182]

Id Rather buy that than the 197, but what i hated abut the old civic was the fact its got so popular and every boy racer had one...or me its still all about the 172/182 and V6s

Think I'll wait for the ultra-hardcore and agressive Type-GRR

LOL

There will be no such thing as a typeRR. I've noticed that the british auto-journalist are sometimes worse than your tabliods.
