Coupe looks damn close to the concept that's for sure. Bet if you colored the images green some people wouldn't be able to tell.
What surprised me is the sedan actually looks great to me and better than what I woulda imagined from the spy pics. Reminds me of a Kia Optima a little since they've...
This does happen but if a car is developed to be global from the get go they usually account for it by offsetting added weight in certain areas to removing weight in others. It's bad press to offer a performance vehicle in a big market for first time and have it be a porker compared to the Euro...
15 seconds faster than Golf R and 21 seconds faster than Focus RS. THAT is owning the field.
To put the 7:50 time into more perspective against non-direct competitors. It's faster than these cars even!
BMW M4 - 7:52
Porsche Cayman S - 7:55.0
C63 AMG 507 package - 8:01
Alfa 4C - 8:04
Great job. Pretty wild but looks like a concept car would. You can just tell that this new body style is going to look so good with some modifications.
Nooooo soooo close yet so far! Guess we'll have to live vicariously through other country's owners for a while. I know I'll end up watching every review on youtube, multiple times :)

“I just read the articles in magazines you guys write that say we’ve lost our way; we’ve lost our...
Won't translate directly. We luckily pay less for our cars than other markets. There's no way it'll be in the 40's. Mid 30's is my guess for US pricing.
There's some controversy over this lap time (isn't there always with the Ring?) since the back seats were removed but they did also balance it out by adding a roll cage.
What do you guys think, does it matter?
You may have seen the video of the development Type R vehicle going ape nuts around the Nurburgring but check out the list of awesome cars it was faster than:
10. Porsche Panamera Turbo
But the truth is that tie-games are awful; nobody likes them. That’s why we have overtime, shootouts and...
I was really hoping the production version would do something about those lights. But it looks like we're getting it only slightly modified. As long as the lights dont jut out like on the concept it could look okay.
This is a all new platform and all new designed Civic (styling and engineering). New generation and we're getting the next Type-R based on this new platform.
