no mate thats a vauxhall

The new Civic still looks white there as well, wonder if its new paint code?

Would love to see it in other colours though

 

[ejwillistyles]

I think it looks awesome I want!

On a side note do we think the rear seats will fold down so it would be as pactical as the DC5??

I really like it 8)

I doubt it'll actually be white though. Wonder if they do it in any decent colours? Might be tempted if so...

Even if the rear seats do fold then it's still a saloon so won't be as practical as a hatch.

If it does that would pretty much make up my mind on it as being next car. The stats look good - just hope we get some good detailed reviews of it to see if its as good a drive as it is on paper.

Really does piss all over the new UK CTR doesnt it lol

To cope with the demands of track work, the front brake discs are 17 inches in diameter with four pot Brembo callipers and the car runs on 225/40 R18 Bridgestone Potenza RE070 tyres.

F*** Me! I thought out brakes were large at 300mm but 17" disks?!!! (430mm?) Thats Huge!

lol i like it, its a pity it wont be importable /have a model report done for quite some time.

However maybe thats a good thing, by the time its done i might actually be able to afford the proce of a new one lol.

 

[jimmy_atr]

forgot about the model report thing - im sure though one of the importers
will purchase one sooner rather than later as can see them being popular.
