I really don't see the fuss. It looks like a squished up Accord type R.

222bhp and 159lb ft of torque weighing 1270kgs does not a missile make, especially at

Dont get me wrong, I love the RX8.....biased I know !!

But this 4 door type r just looks sooo good. Like they have taken the boring saloon car shape and then given it a makeover to make it younger and more aggressive. Definitely beats the BM saloon cars out at the mo for the price.

And yes you are right Stu....I love the JDM look !!! Hence why the Civic EK9 Type R is my favourite looking Civic Type R.

You have to hand it to Honda, they do make good looking cars and well engineered. The vtec engines are sooo nice.

I too love the cars but the Integra type R I had was only let down by zero torque. Build was great, handling was great but no guts at all. I'm really not trying to pick holes in the car (or Gareths post) but there is no way on Gods green Earth that I would

That's the problem - 5k more than our version (even though they are completely different cars in reality) is pushing it in terms of value for money. Also I can't remember the exact amount or whether it includes sales tax etc but the price in Yen is equivalent to about

I just sold my 2004 RX-8, way overrated in my opinion! Only owned it for 1 year from new and sold it for 9,500GBP. Depriciation value defineatly sucks! Wasn't into topping up oil every time I filled up!
