That image is peculiar to the British market and I quite like it.

The Civic VTi is very rare and a great drive, yet to the uninitiated it looks like a granny car (albeit a bit coupe-like). De-badged, one gets left alone by dorks and (hopefully) plod.

You will also find many Hondas in predominantly Jewish parts of London:

May one conclude that they are bought by the older and wiser, or the more intellectual and educated?

Let the young hotheads and the uneducated sneer! It helps exclusivity.

Well JC didn't go for the VXR....he must have a contract with Ford to dislike them

Did go round the lap very quickly mind, Golf R32 owners are grumbling about not being enough corners in....

Still according to Autocar this week, of the 2500 that will go eventually on sale this year (or in the next year) 700 pre-orders placed already, waiting list at some dealers stretches into Next year (although one dealer reckons October he could get you into one) & with the money saved over the Golf, pre-orders are being placed with about

Service ethic at Vauxhall has been far superior to both VW & Honda in my experience (Wife has a 2002 from new POS 1.6 SXi, but boy did we get it cheap). 3 services and one MOT later I'm very satisfied with their work.

The pricing is much fairer....'there you go it says exactly what it will cost on the board sir, work backwards if you supply own oil etc'.

Baseball hats are currently on back order to satisfy CTR owners that I've seen about recently...especially one c**t locally who thinks its okay to race at regulary intervals in excess of 70+ I estimate through the local streets (30) past two schools (primary & secondary)I've seen him so far.

A c0ck of the highest order...


anyway, I digress

The point I'm making is there is a queue...

you hear the same waiting list stuff all the time

had it with RS Foci iirc and how exclusive are they now?

Ford dealers asking for deposits before they'd allow a test drive



this new Vauxhall will be 2010's council estate must-have
