its a blue bar of irish spring soap
its all smooth and curved so it fits in your palm and slides over your body
the spoiler is for increased suds

Woohoo. But they did they have to make it so hideously edgy?
So Honda made a Subaru clone?
>>15913668
More like evo with those turbulence dohickies
the "Cleaner" non-rice version.
>>15913645
That is one ugly machine
>>15913645
If it's not 2,800 lbs or less then I could care less. It looks like a riced out bloated family car.
>>15913760
So you do care about it?
the civic type r has always been a riced out family car. that's the point
>>15913714
>cleaner
>exactly the same as before but with a (probably cosmetic) hood intake instead of (probably cosmetic) fender slots
>also despite all the black on it and the color and black on the other one they still have those stupid fucking chrome doorhandles

>>15913645
Hate hatchbacks, but if i had to buy honda, that would be the one.
>>15913786
If it's over 2,800 lbs then there's no way I can put up with those looks. The old ones were all about being stripped out and minimalist with a high revving naturally aspirated engine.
If the new one is over 2,800 lbs nope
If the new one is turbo-charged with less than 350 bhp nope
If the new one is naturally aspirated with less than 250 bhp nope

What are the chances it's SH-AWD?
>>15913934
This guy gets it. Civic a shit.
>>15913934
yeah, you do like it a little. Always civics (albeit older models, 5th 6th gen) at the tracks
myself I don't own a civic, but I had a 6th gen Si as my first car... it was surprisingly fun on the track for a fwd torqueless wonder.
>>15913664
aero usually means edgy looking so probably yes
>>15913714
>>15913645
>>15913684
Did Honda outsource the car design to ASUS and Alienware?
>>15913795
that's not a civic
>>15913645
> Easily $35,000+ american dollery doos
> FWD civic with a LSD
> The RS and STI, and even the Golf .:R exist
The idiots that buy them wont have to live with their mistake long as they will be stripped for parts the instant they are left alone.
Why even try Honda?
What's with car styling these days it's absolutely foul, especially Jap cars they seem to get uglier each year.
>>15914013
Because we all hope that they bring back more exciting models such as the prelude and integra which were fun (yes fwd hurr durr) to drive.

I don't know if your a honda shill but what do you think of the new NSX? Its preparing to enter IMSA and european GT3.
I think it will do much better in GT3 internationally than the GTR did.
>>15913645
>Be 2016
>Honda finally releases a Type-R Sportscar
>FINALLY
>New Acura NSX launched
Do I smell Honda/Acura bringing back sport cars or is this just a tease? I really want them to make a brand new Acura sports car with a V6 Twin Turbo or a V8. Anything weighing under 3500 with around 380hp is a-okay.
All faith lies in hondas new s2000
They will need to do another breaktrough for it to succeed in todays times. NA revs to 10k? 300 hp? 1.1 ton?
>>15914093
Doubtful. 1.6L turbo, 280bhp, 3,200lbs.
>>15914072
>or a V8.
unpopular opinion but if they made a mew S2000 with a high revving NA V8 and made it undercut the Corvette stingray in price that could be a instant fucking hit.
>>15914065
>I think it will do much better in GT3 internationally than the GTR did.
Those are some big shoes to fill, the GTR was high competitive in pretty much every series it was in. But the test results from PWC show it's a solid car.
>>15914065
My body is ready....
I just happen to like Honda' history from its inception to the 90's when they still had "fun" light cars. How Senna was involved with the NSX, their awesome motorcycles... hell, even their lawn mowers are amazing. Was really excited at the HSV-010 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCR6ud7NVOE. Not sure what happened to that car..
>>15913795
damn... what a beauty

How many races did it win in GT3? would this image be accurate? got it from this website
http://www.racingsportscars.com/suffix/Nissan/GT-R/Nismo%20GT3.html
it didn't seem like it won a lot but maybe i'm misunderstanding the metric.
>>15913997
they actually dont
>>15913661
This actually sort of makes me want to drive it.
>>15913645

>the civic type r has always been a riced out family car
Doesn't look that riced out to me. A cop wouldn't look twice at the EK9.
>>15913795
Jesus, did they even try to align the body panels?
>>15914122
The GT-R in GT3 was a slug, everywhere else it has been pretty darn tough to beat.
Ultimately though, it was always going to struggle in lower power series.
