yep, I've seen them in Belfast. They look good in real life. Honda should definitely pull a Ford and start bringing some of their premium euro products here.

These have been out for four years.

We don't get it because of the Civics that the US has and Honda correctly understands that the styling of this version is too Euro and probably wouldn't do so well in the US. I like the US Civics far more.

That's wild. I'm willing to bet that generates some real good aero numbers (both frontal area and drag).

I'm pretty sure there isn't a Type-S model in Ireland. Just your standard SE and EX kinda trims. There is an Accord Type-S that's sold there, however.
