*shrugs...... i totally dislike the styling... but like you ... dont like those Red accented wheels..

twill be interesting to see where it places itself in the market... .@ 306whp off a Turbo as stock....going through the front wheels....they shudve gone 4WD.... change p the game with the new Gen...tho I get that . Safety regulations drive up weight, and fuel economy regulations are driving everyone to turbo engines, That's just the way it's going to be.

I just find in general Japanese Manufacturers "over trying" with this new styling..... the last Subaru was the same thing.... like an extended Lego kit for a car. Same with Lexus RC F (a failed redo of the awesome LFA)

European styling (even the new Ford Focus RS....smart move going with 330whp thru a 4wd with that hot-hatch) is more pleasing to the eye IMO...

Agreed. Focus > Civic.

comments on the RCF being a failed re-do of an LFA ??

Always thought the RCF was a progression step in the F-badged variants of the IS-F.....

The LFA being a one off production limited run to demonstrate design capability, marketing the brand etc...

New RS starts at 35k pounds out of Yorkshire...for anyone that might be interested...

Early tests show that its being beaten by the BMW M4... its weigh's almost two tons for a car that size... and has dreadful understeer..even with all the TCM assists on...

But to each his own....

Wanted that rcf to upset the Ms and the AMGs....it just end up upsetting its own lineage....

Better luck next time lex...

I think the rcf disappointed a lot of people. The c63 is still king though.

this styling of car wasnt even cool when the first fnf came out. looks alot like an sti on roids.

Postby **Monk BANzai** » March 4th, 2015, 5:02 pm

i old school... this Gen

is like the Mazda FD3S or the Evo VI Tommi.... a timeless design that will only get better.... a DC5 is actually on my meager bucketlist of cars i must own...

and with this...

they closed the circle on its design (even tho its not a Integra..)...beautiful four door hot Hatch... not even the VW Golf GTI came close....Honda always had presence with this line of car.... even non Honda owners bow in respect to its sheer presence....

I not feeling that sense of presence with the intended release

If thats the production design .... I hate it.. YUCK..
Esp the back with that CR-X type of glass ....

Should of stayed with the other design from the Geneva Auto Show.. The RED one..

Alot going on with that design as well but it was better than this ....... And Banzai's right.. FORD is on point with their Focus .. Needs sportier rims but never the less .. ON POINT !
