1st gen was horrible looking. I walked by it inside the local Honda dealer and couldn't believe the pathetic tack-on video game childness.
Glad that it's looks matured and should be a ton of fun. Won't bother watching the video. Did go straight to Honda's website and built one for just usa$52k. Gotta wait and see what the forum MPG average is... would make a great powertrain for the Accord and AWD CRV. Oh well, don't care for the Civic and Honda won't listen to me.
Fun FWD 4 door cars: Omni GLH(S), Mazda 323GT, Dodge Neon SRT.... and now Civic Type R's
More power is better right? and can definitely make you say "oh $#!}" and start those butterflies in stomach feeling.
