New EP3 Civic Type R

[totti]

i went to honda last week

dealer said that we should get the EP3 first quarter of next year

[Calvo]

yeh i must say those seats look mighty sexy tho

[Setanta]

that model civic is ugly..... looks like a mini van........ plain ugly!!!

What he said

They can dress it up all they want, but it still looks wrong. The EK CTR was an infinitely better looking beast. Hell, the only Civic uglier than the current shape in all it's guises, including the CTR is the 2nd gen Civic

Lost the Recaros...(these are the seats you'll find in the US Si) :x

Just a minor correction - the face-lifted CTR didn't lose the Recaro's. The UK version never got Recaro's in the first place. Only the JDM model had Recaro seats plus a slightly more powerful engine (10ps extra). So judging from those pics, I'm pretty sure it's the UK-spec model rather than the JDM spec :wink:

I reckon it doesn't look too shabby at all - I'd happily trade in my VTi-R coupe for that CTR
The door mirror mounted side indicators makes it line-ball with the Accord Euro. The angel eyes headlights setup is very neat indeed (I'm expecting the face-lifted Integra to have those as well) with a much more aggressive front-bumper than the pre-facelift version.

Cheers,
SiR.

will aus even get the ctr?

[aZZ]

no we wont, honda australia had the choice between the CTR and the ITR. ITR was chosen due to its popularity and its sales figures since 98".
