that pic above is probably just the cooking version of the civic isn't it?
no red badges on display anywhere, a measly 7k rev limit and it generally looks a bit tame.
i notice the dash board has the S2000 starter button on it though! shouldn't have imo - keep it for the S2000.

Its the new Euro laws regarding pedestrian safety, they have no choice. Stuff pedestrian education, we got have cack looking cars to save the craniums of thick feckers who walk out onto a road.
What I really don't get is how you supposedly have legislation that dictates this (anyone know what that legislation is?) and then someone comes along and designs, say, a Chrysler sit up and beg thing/PMT/whatever or a 2CV or a BMW X5/X3 and that's OK
Is there a Euro law that says if you design a really shit car, it doesn't apply? While I'm on my soapbox, aren't heavier cars going to do more damage to people and things and yet it seems modern cars add weight faster than that fat git from Celebrity Fit Club (Rik Waller?) and that's down to all the 'safety features' (girders in doors, hair bags, etc). Rant over!

I don't think anyone is in any position to tell you much at all about the next gen Type-R. Rumours are rife at the moment, but that's all they are - rumours.

I see. So what we should be driving is something that scoops up the thicko onto the roof and leaves them behind us, to be scraped up by the driver of the next car along, thus causing us the minimum of inconvenience. I'm warming to these designs

Yet the bleedin hearts want us to grovel around on the latter, when we'd be happier in the former.
