Post Honda upgrades JDM Civic

Quote, originally posted by Nihon Car »
Honda decided today to launch a batch of upgrades for their Civic line-up. For many these upgrade may be more stylistic than technical, especially for the Type-R and 1.8GL or 2.0GL Civic. The hybrid little sedan with the MX “Stylish Package” received many small improvements related to vehicle comfort. An upgraded GPS & HDD audio system with rear control camera, UV-Cut and tainted rear glass, and so on, and so on... 

Not much indeed but we have to admit that new Civic-Type R in its “Black Robe” is pretty elegant.

Prices are expected to be around 2.8 Million Yen (18 000€), from 2.3 to 2.9 Million Yen (14 000€ to 19 000€) for the Hybrid version and from 1.9 to 2.3 Million Yen (12 000€ to 14 000€) for a 1.8 or 2.0L Civic.

Looking past the fact recently some asshat put 30,000k HIDs in his Civic R blinding me at night in traffic (damn construction)...


Cough cough....

This cars looks are really growing on me. In a sea of sameness, it stands out. Only the Mazda 3 looks better IMO.

Yes, I think the new Civic in those pics looks pretty damn good.

No I am not high.

Commence thread.

Im liking the Type R. It seems to have some RSX style cues in the headlights.

Japan gets the R20, we get shafted with the R18A1. Oh well, this Civic does feel more powerful than the Civics of the past.
