i dont like it at all. looks like a bubly cavalier or something. the only thing i do like is the headlights... and im still not too sure about that. the ep3 chasis was strange cus it looks like a mini-minivan. but this just looks worse. the look might grow on me over time, but those taillights look like unwipped butt.
Oh man, it's amazing how bland that car looks. It's absolutely, positively a jelly bean. They have reached new depths of blandness with this one. Through all the camoflage, it's still pretty easy to see what the car looks like. Like a bad Honda interpretation of a Peugot 206, with some Mazda thrown into the tail lights, and a bit of Saturn Ion influence on the nose, intentional or not. Even if I were into the sport compact racing scene, this car would not jazz me at all.
I'll look at the sporty and chisled 3rd. gen Prelude with renewed appreciation.

How would it boost sales? Nothing is special about it. Unless they offer a killer Type-R in America, I see nothing that would discern it from the mass of commuter cars out there. Can it compete with the SVT Focus?
it instantly reminds me of peugeout with a back end of a toyota prius , i must say it is bland , boring and very ugly but it may be able to redeem itself with a type-r model

Let's face it, that car would not be redeemed with a Type-R. It would just be a faster, anonymous looking hatchback. Type-R is not that special. Anyway, what about the rest of production - non-R? It'll be funny to see those things running around with wings on the back.

As for the Type-R there are rumours floating around saying it could have 250hp.
i would be suprised if a usdm civic type r would have that much power. cus then what will the rsx have? honda can definitely do it, but i doubt they will. they always leave room for the "integra type r" motor to be the most powerful. whether its the b18c r or the k20a r. the usdm civic always gets shafted with girly cams and weaker compression.

yup it would be a european version...the Integra Type-R is not on sale here and since there will be some serious competition in this class i find it possible
