I think that CTR looks more the complete car & VXR looks more halford & bodge.

you do realise the road going ones will probably look loads different anyway, for a start they wont have tinted glass like that, and i would be surprised if those alloys came in the road production model too

I think it's the 20" inch rims that make me want to throw up the most.

The old type r's were boring but have you drove or been inside the new civic. TOTALLY DIFFERENT!! I assure you you would change your mind!!
The engine has been refined with better mid range torque. Its 200 ps so around 205 bhp.
Good thing is with the honda compared to the vauxhall. Like for like, you trade in the vauxhall in 3 years time its only going to be worth 30% of its purchase value compared to the Hondas 57%
The Vauxhall will sell more than the Honda due to the Fleet offers Vauxhall have compared to Honda. We are hoping to sell 50,000 of these over a 4 year period till the next model change.

i do. This car will grow on you. I thought the new shape was horrible and im still not sure of the back. but the majority of customers coming through the door and BUYING the new shape honda is unreal.
Its the best seller for march by a counrty mile. Its causing a stir in the motor trade and people who work on the sales side will tell you the same. 90% of the magazines and critics loved it. This car is designed for the C sector in mind. Thats family cars. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but in out showroom we have a huge poster of it as you walk in to gauge peoples reaction. So far most people love it.
This will be a big seller for honda, i personally dont care if like it or dont like it, Honda customers love it and 70% of buyers will be repeat customers as once you buy into Honda's package very few people leave.

200ps is 197hp
trade in depends on the model. I don;t like the new civic at all and the interior is gash and messy.

yeah. your right its 197 bhp. dunno what i was thinking there. I know what your saying depends on the model. but you wont find a vauxhall thats keeping more than 40% of its value. It will fluctuate depending on model but will never hold more than the honda and that i would gladly put my house on.
