Wow! 200 horses out of .0 liters!! I new that honda had some good engineers but wow!!

And talk about fuel efficiency!

Now watch people mess it up with stupid body kits and faux lambo doors.

Hmm…where is the Torque numbers that propell the car from 0-XX MPH? Oh wait! It is only 138lbs so now I need those 4.76 gears and 8000RPM to launch the car…LOL

Sorry…as a previous Honda owner, it still makes me laugh.

Whoops..I was mistaken…it is now 139-lbs of Torque. Corrected!

You mean i can tack on MORE body plastic!? SCORE!!

mmmmm…flying dooors, guhluglughlggl….

Sorry, but all of them look like potatoes on wheels to me. The last gen may have been a bit boring, but these are down right ugly.

It makes the batmobile looked refined and subtle

Why can’t we have a DX and EX hatch instead of the coupe and sedan? Without the added bodywork it’s more attractive to me than either. Of course, the bizarre dash layout would still be a problem, but I’m hoping they fix that as a 2008 mid-life freshening.

“Unpimp ze auto. V-Dub in da haus.”

I’d trade my 350Z for this and enough left over cash for a second-hander… you haters need to look in your own driveways before you dispute me.

Hey Hammy, if you need a place to dump that 350Z I would more than love to take it off your hands for you.

Has honda lost its mine? Performance sounds so appealing to me that they are bringing a civic to 200 but WTF!? That thing looks like its been riced out in 3 different areas! First off from behind it looks like a prius and a focus smashed together. The tail lights is as ricey as they fix up eclipse lights. The Mesh is way over done. What happend to their sleek everyday look? I mean I know they trying to raise the bar to a futuristic and more youth gen look. But this plain looks nasty! What happend honda!?

its ok for a kiddie car.

hmmm… you mean, this car isn’t “relevant?”

Crazy, the all powerful Japanese actually messed up a car? Naw…. not possible, thier logical, function driven precision minds could not possibly have come up with something that doesn’t make sense….oh wait, just like all thier other cars, they followed the Germans, right into the bad coupe/hatch abyss (C Coupe, BMW 318i)

They should have stuck to copying the 3 series, at least the proportion would have been good.

The interior on this car is just plain ridiculous… as is the exterior.

It just seems like a bad idea to market a car to people who aren’t old enough to drive.

the front looks cool… the back looks like ****… bottom line…

too high to be a sport car

I think it looks very nice. A good attempt by honda. Much meaner looking than before. It would be nice to know its technical specs tho! )

139 ft•lb torque? Next time I think that I have a mosquito in my car, I’m going to look around for one of these type-Rs (the “R” is for rice). “It just seems like a bad idea to market a car to people who aren’t old enough to drive.” I find myself in rare agreement with you, Madcapp. This car looks like it should have matchbox written on it somewhere. The back looks like it was ripped from a mid 90’s eclipse and the car appears too short (lengthwise). It has the proporportions of a Scion xA – the proportions appear off, especially for a “sports” car. All of this and the yellow color makes it look like the short bus.

[...] This new Honda Civic concept would at least deserve a test drive by me when it comes out in 2007. I probably wouldn’t downgrade — I have an Accord — but it would be fun to zip around in for a few hours. [...]

It looks like it’s wearing braces.

Aside from the weird grilles around the Honda logo on the front and back, i dont think it looks bad. The matching fog lights and exhaust pipes are a nice touch, too. A bit too much ricey cladding on the bottom of the car, though, otherwise very nice.

Maybe The rear lights and the mesh could have been toned done a little more, but I don’t think it looks bad.

Honda you got yourself a buyer. This CIVIC Type R is aggressively hot and sexy. It’s way better than the 2006 CIVIC SI concept.

“It looks like it’s wearing braces.” Ha too true

“… fun to zip around in for a few hours” with such low torque the only thing this “car” will be zipping is the body bag too this concept.

Don’t get me wrong i like civics I’ve had 2 in the last 6 years. One being a mid 90 v tec that was a fun car!performance wise? no not exactly, i mean face it, it performed a little better than the rest of the civic family, but the thing is i was expecting that. no one was ranting and raving about the performance of that car…. this new type r just doesnt make sense.

its bad ass and all, the good horses, bud too much futureistic. needs to take some form of actual car shape, and make the profile lower, instead of an air dam. im sure its fast, you dont need much whp for a car to be fast unlike hevy v8 huggers.

The new civic type r is a beauty, it looks amazing and even so its the same engine, as the old one which was powerful enough, because its lighter its gonna be one hell of a driving experience, you cant say it looks like its wearing braces, or its got weird grills cos it looks how a sports car should powerful, mean and smooth something that will catch the eye of on lookers, make people say wow and it’ll get people to move out the way, ive always liked the civic type r cos its always been a fantastic car, but its never beaten the golf R32 until now and its certainly a winner over the focus RS id love to own one, and all those who have put too angy looking etc are you insane its a sports car did you never see the lamborghini diablo, paghani zonda even the TVR tuscan mite be really smooth but it looks different, if it looked like any other car there would be no point in it. Honda its fantastic can i have a free 1 plse

those photos are so scratchy it makes the mesh grill look really jagged when in fact its not .. and wths up with the fugly nose on the blue car. that wing looks kinda odd, and the taillights like they copied+pasted from the headlights. otherwise it looks nice they are incorporating alot of the acura styling into it.. and im sure in black this car wouldnt look as outrageous and some of you make it out to be. @ #1 – see honda s2000, acura integra type r

I think this is the best looking car to come out of Honda since the CRX. I deplore the “Americanization” of the brand that has happend over the last 15 years. In the CRX years, Honda was a leader, recently they have become a follower.

This car harkons the Peugot and Alfa rally car styling that is huge in Europe (that we can’t get). We now only get the lame ducks with no flavor. Very dissappointing that this won’t be coming to the US (again). I’m 38, drive an Audi S4 and would by this car in 2 seconds flat…

Cool fuel efficient, reliable to 400 000 KM or more, speed shifting the snot out of it, all while meeting todays strick emissions. My 79 camaro z28 which I’ve owned for 21 years was not all the realable in bone stock form, hard on fuel, hard on traneys, valvetrain, starters etc. The z now has a roof from a volvo and 700hp and can’t compare to the seat of the pants feel. It runs 10’s, all said the ricer Type R should run 14’s or low 15 and it will take it again and again.

well its just a concept so i doubt dat itll look exactly like dat. doesnt look too bad, cept take out some of da riceyness

Super fajne autko

I’ll buy it!! looks awesome. hope they release it in the usa.

Piece of ****. Still no torque and it looks like crap..

Thumbs down To honda.

This car looks awsome, much better than my 2002 Si HB.
I would buy this car immediatly if it came out in the US. Which I’m really hoping for.

I’m glad to see that honda is leaning to more performance but god damn. this car is just down right UGLY.

dont listen to the coffee dodgers above , they are probably isane or very dead. wake up jumboy .this car is quite classy as the century evolves.remember it is 2006 and not 1996. this car is very cool, and easy on the eyes.

I think that it looks great if it didn’t, i guess then that i would not have bought it. So i believe that ya’ll need to take another look at it; or if you don’t have anything good to say, don’t say anything at all.

Thanks!

C’mon People Be Honest, it looks better then that half assed 2006 job.

no other car on this side of a mitsubishi evo can compare

i think that car look great. it;s easy to say that car is **** if you drive steel box cars with 300 hp
and 1 to 100 km/s in 10 s where enginers do not care about fuel efficiency, polution … But in Japan are very strong laws about poulution and they made a 2.0 200hp. bacause of that i think this car deserve respect. about design, for you mercedes lovers do not forget that time fly

wait for test drive. then comment

The car looks DIFFERENT! As was said before, it is supposed to look different, not like the ford taurus or the chevy impala-BORING!!! It is cutting edge. I own a 2006 Si(for all the Si haters, this is simply an evolved Si, duh), and it has great gas milage, Awesome acceleration(0-60 in 6.3 sec.), does the slalom faster than the Z06 Corvette, and all without any real torque. Any other cars do this and stay around $20k? Not even the new GTI is as fun to drive(Motortrend magazine, April, I believe). And it is a lot more expensive.
It doesn’t look like all the other cars out there, and thankfully, b/c I would hate to look like all the rest of you american car lover drivers out there-you know who you are. Besides, Honda is arguably the best car on the road as far as resale value! SO, I guess I am glad the rest of you don’t like it, that just means I don’t drive a cookie cutter piece!

If @ all n e thing like the older model, then this is going to be a beast!!!Reason enough to be on the waiting list!!! I cant wait

Does n e one know defnately when the car gets released in RSA?

RSA..Well dude. go to your honda dealership. Place ur order. Yes! they taking orders friend.
The day the car goes on sale in europe thats the day you can decide on a colour. O, thats also the day u will find out that its maybe around R30 000.00 cheaper than a GTi.
Not that i was even thinking of buying a Gti. Turbo this turbo that. whats wrong, cant the
germans find a better solution for their engines produce power.
Seems to be the trend now a days. Take a engine, then slap on a turbo.
see Ford is following suite.

Normal aspirated fun.
love honda engines..they built to be driven hard.

I placed my order in Cape Town..Mekor Newlands

most amazing beautiful car on 4 wheels. all you critics must be super jealous you cant afford it or too ashamed to admit that honda has done it again. yeh

This car looks hot,I’d definetly but one,I own a Honda Civic Vti ‘99. Which is sortof the same as the SI , runs with 160 horsepower, and im not sure about the torque. But hey, if the car is LIGHT, then it DOESNT need as much torque, Torque is how heavy the engine can pull. My civic beats the hell out of other GTI models from other makers. as well as some ‘american’ musclecars which are around 200-300 hp. Yet you all b…. about the torque?. Get your driver liccence and your facts right before you make yourself look like idiots kiddies. Torque is what truckers look at mainly, because they haul alot of weight. You´re not all so fat that the car needs HUGE torque to move???

-Ill never buy anything other then a honda , PERIOD!

This car is sick, I hope it comes to the USA cause we need that over here.

Anyone in the US want to buy a right-hand drive Honda Accord Type R? 2000 plate, Vesuvio Red with 90,000 miles on the clock. It has a Momo leather steering wheel, Recaro front sport seats, aluminium gearknob and a 2.2 litre VTEC engine… My dad exported a vintage car to California last year so I know how to ship it etc (my brother lives in San Francisco). Any takers, email me: phil.latham at talk21 dot com (spelt out to stop those spider robot things sending me junk) and make me an offer!! Phil 29 June 06.

Its got my vote! I will be getting myself on the waiting list!

ho much will the 2007 type r be

the civic in standard iz absolutely **** but kitted up luks wel nyc

GONA BUY IT NOW!! OTHER CARS LOOK BORING AND DEAD!

THIS ONE LOOKS ALIVE AND READY TO ROCKET ITSELF ON THE TRACKS!

I want one, looks sweet. “It just seems like a bad idea to market a car to people who aren’t old enough to drive” – well i’m 17 and it works for me, gotta have something for young car drivers to aspire to, thats doesnt cost more than £80,000

Got to luv it……Bring this babe on!!! She look goood.
Build and they will come!!!

It looks exactly like te bat mobile.. sad to say
