I chanced upon this today:
www.redh.co.uk/

It looks like they tweaked the engine and revised the suspension. It's a pretty loud looking car. I think it's still cool in a "far out" sort of way. It sounds fun to drive on paper.

 

Most TypeR's a hoot. I wish Honda would import them to the US, there is a market here for them!

 

Even the UK's base Civic is way better than what we have here, on appearance if nothing else.

 

Nice looking car. I love hatchbacks! I think all of my cars were hatches, except my 8. Looks fun. Seems like everybody (overseas) gets all the cools stuff--bikes, cars, etc.

 

Too much going on with the look, but it does sound like a pretty fun little fwd hatch. For the money I'd buy a C30 personally, but I'm no boy racer .

 

Fugly.

 

Yes! More red honda badges for the ricers!

 

There is a market here, even Mustangs, Neons and Caveliers are rockin' Type Rs!

That is a good looking hatch though.

 

I can't help but think, with all that effort they've put into the styling, handling, and interior...it's still wrong wheel drive.

 

FF configuration may not be as fun, but these cars move around the course just as fast if not faster than a lot of FR cars. At least prior type Rs.

 

It's not the handling that concerns me. I've seen first hand what the Cobalt SS, SRT-4 ACR and an ITR can do around a track. Plus Alfa Romeo always tears it up in European Touring. It's just the tunability. At a certain power level it becomes a wheel hopping mess. I'm still holding out for an AWD turbo charged Honda. Everything can be found in the parts bin now. The question is will Honda ever put it together?

 

lol yah. the red badge is like SO JDM DUDE . but i agree with you lol.

 

I agree with you on the tunability.

I'm sure Honda is thinking the same thing regarding the parts bin. Let's see there's the turbo-charger present in the RDX, SH-AWD, and potent Vtec 4s and 6s. A combination of those items would make for a very nice car...a la next gen NSX?

 

Next gen nsx will get a high reving v10, next gen accord coupe is said to have a turbo 4 with a 6mt. It wont get the SH- AWD, that is a Acura only option in the present/ near future.

 

i can see why people think it is ugly but i like it, i too love hatch backs

 

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but not this beholder's eye. It is a shame that Honda seems to not send us it's "R" spec cars very often.

 

I get my Red H on friday.

 

I want that shift ****...
