I don't mind the styling, though I can't say I'm a fan. That was a pretty rave review though.

Turbo Civic? They won't be able to make enough of them. It will sell for sure.

Rear styling is a bit odd. To me the car looks a bit too much like a 4 door they made into a hatch. Might be the photo angles playing tricks.

Good to see Honda trying to keep the Boy Racer thing going. Good on them.

Meh. Something about the rear end is off. It looks almost like something you'd see sweeping up parking lots at 3 a.m.

I'd like to see it without the rear wing... I'm excited to see what (if any) part of this we get in the states.

Specs and review look promising. Would love to see back-back w/ the Focus RS.

If nothing else I'm glad to see these kinds of cars around again, seems like a few years ago the fun / small stuff was in short supply.

The interior is what hot wheels think sports car look like on the inside.

Gives us some clues as to what the next Si might be like if it uses a similar turbo motor.

The US will get the Type R in 2018. Doesn't seem like there will be an Si.

As for this one, it seems to be a really nice package. Honda cited the 'ring time as 7:50. In this review it's beating an M3 and RS3 around the track.
