Default Official launch of Civic

True to form, Honda have rather upped the ante in the C segment, after the rather Austin-like EU8:

The interior certainly addresses a traditional Japanese weak point- -percived quality, if the photos are reliable.

Does this leave the S2000's plastics looking a bit dated?

They're gonna have to work hard on the Legend, which is also due here in 2006!

Nick - I've got a DVD which tests the new Legend with the SH-AWD system - obsolutely fantastic! Spoon has already bought a couple and have tuned them!

That's a pukka interior in the Civic. A definite move up market, whilst Ford and Vauxhall are improving on the reliability and performance front, Honda suddenly find a way to stretch their lead on their rivals.

I am very interested in the new Leg End. (Mainly for its potential as a 'new Prelude'/'new NSX' donor.

Any chance of a pirate, please?
