can't you guys tell the Button is standing there lost for words at how ugly a fark the WTR is?...........

man your car is ugly as F**k as well, sure your modding it and spending time and money to make it go faster or whatever pleases you, but these days peoples preferences have changed and hatches are currently in! the CTR is going to do great

clearly loosing your tran of thought just to bag me out..........

i said im into hatches..........the fact that I don't like this hatch that your obviously so in love with I'll accept is what exist in the spectrum of taste out there.

don't let my comments hurt your feelings.

Mate, that's not ugly. The black hatch is a beauty. You have to know what it is to appreciate it.

only true hatch lovers know of the black hatch heritage. your WTR wouldn't be here if it wasn't for cars like that black hatch.

anyhow back on topic.........

Maybe Button didn't like the fact that they made him wear that open face helmet? hahahhahahha.

perhaps "ugly as fark" is too harsh for the new civic

hahahha..........nah I think he didn't like the fact that there weren't enough honda engineers nipping at his ankles as he got out of the WTR.

WOMBAT Type R..........only upside I can see is in this promo they mentioned that the WTR was $2.5Kpounds cheaper than the Golf GTi. But more than likely she's comparing the standard WTR to a fully spec'd Gti.

I'm no vw gti lover either.........

see...........F1 drivers aren't sales man ..........Hey even laughed at the caliper logo........

I think the WTR was aimed at putting all alteza light companies out of business.........

To be honest the driving positions of the WTR and the concept R is not the best. EK EG still rules in that aspect.

I don't think it'll handle like a Wombat. It's a comfortable Type R. More like an in-between the real Type R and the Type S. I just want the JDM CTR, or at least this UKDM one in white with black lights and black rims.

**NightRyder** · 11-03-2007 09:22 PM

Gee wizz...a lot of people are having their say about this CTR eh!..hahaha...surely it is a fine piece of engineering, though could be better i suppose...but great to see 'a' Civic Type-R coming to Aus as part of its Honda mainstream car market.

Although, comparing this UKDM CTR to the JDM 4-door CTR, I think I would prefer the JDM one as well because it is unique in its own kind and yes brembos, recaros are fabulous!......haha

saw this in person first time today. damn i was surprised how well it looked closed up. on the photos didnt really pop up especially with its fat ass. its actually not that bad looking. think ppl will get used to the look soon enough.
