I love the interiors of those cars. The inside of the one in those pics looks a bit busy but the standard version is beautiful inside.

I would love one of them to be honest

I'd like to see it in white, as a true Type-R should be

good from the front and inside but the back is uglyg ugly ugly and the side profile has 206 all over it and that was out long before this civic its not winning my vote. bet its a cracker to drive though.

It's due to be launched in March this year. I believe it will be available here also. There's actually two specs available the standard and the GT. The GT has A/C and automatic wipers and the like, I reckon the prices will be €38K and €40K (damn you VRT)

I wonder if you will actually see the curves in Black? Red isn't bad TBH.

As for the back of it, it's not too bad. I mean I think it takes a little getting used to. As for looking like a 206 from the side,maybe, but this is bigger than the 206 so it can carry it. Besides the 206 is a good looking car (from the side anyway).

Really though you are buying this for the drive, the 201PS and the 0-100km/hr of 6.6 seconds!

PS Also available in white...
