im starting to like the civic type r. it keeps on looking better every time i stare at it.

[JSL]

how come all you old school integra owners done like how it looks?

i think this is the best looking hatch out there.. apart from the new CLIO!

hehe love the dashboard.. central tacho is nice and speedo placement very ergonomical!

[narada]

"supposedly" toyota went back to the drawing boards to redesign the new corolla after seeing how futuristic the civic looked!

[Leslie R]

i quite like it...love to get one if they ever come here...and apparently honda australia are 'trying their hardest' to see the Type R here...i doubt it though

[felixR]

wow
that's alright.. i'd drive that!

[Vitabrits]

Dont like it
But thats just my opinion

[R123]

looks better in Yellow.. but yeh... welcome them here!!

[sangers]

hey i just noticed some of the changes from the white concept we saw a little while back...
1. the wheels aren't as large and "explosive"
2. the type r sticker on the side has been abandoned (yay!)
3. the brakes are smaller
4. the sideskirts are less aggressive
5. headlights appear to not be blacked out anymore
6. it comes with foglights
7. the side mirrors are a different design (in fact if you look at the profile shots they are sitting alot further back now)

here are some side by side pictures:

and the white one was identical to the yellow one:
