Pre-ordered mine a few weeks ago...

They promised me I'd take delivery on the 1st of March 07, release date!

Can't wait!

hmm, looks good, but too small for me.
How much if you dont mind me asking.

I got the GT upgrade with the bigger RAGE design 19" alloys for £19,500 ish... You'll have to xe.com for the exchange rate.

The standard one with 18" alloys and not GT I THINK is about £17,600

(approx $40,000 US)

40k for a damn Honda civic .. Are you on crack? serious question

Not bad at all !!!!! :thumbsup

Nope.. Serious answer.

are cars that much more expensive there?

jesus christ, that is insanely exspensive for what that car is.

are car prices higher in britain all around?

-edit- i see this has already been answered. damn that seems steep.

I think everything in Britain is more expensive, we kinda get ripped off as consumers.

But you have to factor in the fact that the dollar is worth about the same as a piece of toilet paper right now so that may make it seem more shocking.

(I know I'm shocked when I get my dollar checks - the vast majority of my income - and have to convert them and see my money go down the toilet) :(

"Maximum power is now 201PS, reached at 8,000rpm"

what unit is that in? i am not familiar with it.

the interior is pretty sharp looking.

to small for me as well.

nice car used to have the pug 206 gti 180 that was pretty swift

must say though for that price tag i would rather get a 330d or an older m3

Brake horse power I think.

if that's brake horsepower it seems a little low.

the civic si here in america is rated at 197 and it only costs $21,000 usd.

I'm actually kinda trading down from a BMW... I've got a BMW Z4 3 litre at the moment which I'm fed up with.

Yeah, a lot of CTR owners over here are moaning that it's no faster than the old one BHP or 0-60.

But in its defence, it may well be quicker around a track due to improvements in handling etc we'll have to see (edit: I should say I've neither seen it or driven it before ordering, even the dealers don't have them yet).

Wouldn't really want much more horsepower through a front wheel drive car as it wouldn't be able to put it down as well and you'd get a lot of spinning in 1st and second gear. IMO

Wow that is a nice car and a pretty penny. Hope you know what to do with it....
it is an important thing to know

with the right throttle control, anything is possible ;)

Its all in what you like. I just sold my H22a turbo powered Accord. Had around 40K invested in that. But with the power it was putting out.I have made a few 70K dollar Porche and several Mustang,and Camero owners envy me.

Nice looking ride

Nice car. Its just a shame that new car prices are what they are in the uk.

A nice car that is...

honda makes the best engines in tha world. have fun with that car next year!

i'll prefer honda motorcycles :]

pretty gay car dude

looks like one of those cars the kids buy and put those fartcannon mufflers on and pretend they are fast

That's a nice rige, I am thinking about buying Civic D5 2007

very interesting looking ride. good luck with it man!

nice car if you are a teenager :2 cents:

Holy butt fucking christ that shit is UGLY! I'm a HUGE Honda fan but man... I'm really lost faith in Honda after the current generation line up...

Acura is the only thing keeping me from giving up on Honda entirely

Maybe in 5 years when they can afford it.

You'd giggle if you knew their "target market" for this car... I read it on a dealers email.

It went something like this:

25-40 year old
primarily male
Executive or middle management
£40,000+ per year income ($80,000+ approx)

etc etc.

looks okay

Honda's Rule!
Enjoy the ride :)

HAHA - u guys thinking 40 k $ is alot for a honda...

well before u go too crazy lets look at car pricess in my country ( nothern europe )

1 car = xx $
1 tax = xx$ * 300

= xxxx $

or in a other way - serveral years ago my parents was selling their 5 yrold Opel Corsa and got 13000 $ for it!
The car company did some clean up and put it up for sale for 19800 $

now thats crazy - at the same time I saw the same car, just newer, with sunroof and stereo in another eupean country, for 6800 $

damn - i really really need to get more money and move abroad :D

Nice clean looking ride

Wow , that is nice

also, seeing as you can buy a LOADED Infiniti G35 for like $38K I seriously doubt that price tag would hold up in the states

very cool looking

vroom vooom

looks like a pretty nice car :thumbsup

I love it :)

I don't like that backend also the spoiler looks cheap .
Honda are overall good reliable cars though u can
drive it to 500k and still run when u become a grandma / grandpa
twice over again

Not my style..seems too pricey for what it is
