Earth shattering New Turbo Civic Type-R protoype spotted in Ohio
- Thread starter Captain
- Start date
They will have to be stored inside the showroom when delivered to the dealer.
The Mugen Si was getting stripped for parts on the dealer lots when they came out, gotta love what the Honda scene has become

Is a hatchback isn't it?
Interesting. Well, it would be cool if they sell that car in the US.
From all the info so far the U.S. version will be in a 4 door, the current Euro version is a hatch & they might just be using that body to test the new turbo K series engines which will be built in the new Ohio plant, same one the 2nd gen NSX will come from.

Makes sense, because Civic Hatchbacks aren't really popular in the us. That's more European and Japan style. Americans (not including me) love big sedans and shyt.
only fukking rice burners care about shyt like this. for christ sake you can buy a fukking used M3 for the cost of one of these FWD understeer machines.
Whatever though, I guess people gotta get their Vin Diesel on.

First, you need to purify yourself in the cool waters of lake menentanka to release the unnecessary anger you hold on to... It's not healthy.
Second, a lack of understanding leads to ignorance... I'm not sure where to start in addressing your statement since it contains nothing worth addressing so I will let it sit there & be an example/lesson to the younger posters of what it looks like when a (presumed)adult fails develop adequate communicate skills.
Perfected the concept? There is enough room for a lot of entries into the segment. Don't forget the CRX Si came out in the mid 80's HMC is not late on anything, in fact ahead in many ways, 45 mpg civic HX 20 years ago while everyone was jumping into 7 passenger SUVs.
It's just preferences, the GTi is a great car but not everyone wants a German car made in Mexico. People are loyal to their respective brands.
Yes, FWD Turbo has been perfected by VW. The LSD they are putting the new GTIs are incredible.
I'm not doubting that Honda knows motorsports/has history. shyt my pop took me to see Nigel Mansell. Ive owned an RC51 and an F3. I still have a CB550. Honda's are the shyt.
I drive a Civic now. To commute. The point that I am trying to make is that, I assume people looking to purchase new are believing that they are getting some sort of bang for their buck. In actuality, they are getting very little in terms of performance, and that performance hinders the utilitarian functions of the Honda Civic.
shyt I go to NJIT for christ sake, there are 5000 Si in the parking lot.
This is obviously just my opinion, but Christ, go on Craigslist any day you can find many used cars, in solid condition that fulfill both conditions outlined above and surpass what the Civic Turbo can offer.
Just out of curiosity. Say this is priced roughly at the WRX's price point. What do you choose?

ok, you have never heard the term brand loyalists before.
WRX honestly would be tempting but the interior looks like something coming from
Detroit
It sounds like a tractor and the gearbox shifts as smooth as Michael J Fox in a mid 90s DSM car
i certainly have, but that doesnt mean it is something to be proud of.
