there something about the rear end of this car that makes it look pretty ugly. might be the big chrome piece, the euro taillights or the giant doubledecker wing?

Haha yes that car is hideous. But I do wish we could have a 237hd civic in the states.

If I wanted a torsion beam axle in the rear I would get a Fit.

40 000 British pounds = 62 060 U.S. dollars

I would call you insane if you bought that.

Yeah, I love Hondas but I couldn't justify that kind of money. Not on a torsion beam rear end, FWD car...not when an S2K can be had for far less...not when an NSX can be had...or a Cayman.

Can you imagine the kind of hatch you could build for $62k? I mean $10k gets you a pimped out Kswapped EG. $20k would get you a imported EK-R with a K...who's spending $62k on a honda civic?

Yeah it's just crazy. Plus it looks pretty bad IMO. I much rather build an old car to be nuts for the price of a cheapish new car like you say.

If I wanted a torsion beam FWD car, I'd buy a 2010 Cobalt SS TURBO.. . Make up for a shatty suspension with Straight away power.. .

The price is that high becuase there are only 20 i believe she said being made. So ppl will pay that money just to have it.
