Except for the kind of crazy wing and the “tri” trumpet exhaust I really like the way the new R looks as more and more pics come out.

The black and comp white esp!

It would be cool if there was a wing delete option.

For me it is a type-r so should look a bit boy racer-ish

Besides the two items I mentioned above I like the pronounced body work and the subdued but aggressive front fascia. Not unlike M cars of old.

If *I* was in the market for small, FWD hot hatch, the Type R would be it.

Love the feel of Honda manuals and clutch pedal, and I believe it's far more reliable than any offerings from Volkswagen or Ford.

Would be awesome if they drop that same engine on a Miata ....

I really like this car. I want to drive one if they ever have one at the local dealership.

It just looks very understated this time and in a GOOD way.

Good to know. I noticed the local Honda dealership starting to have at least a few cars on the lot.

I like it but the eBay tack-on wing would have to go.

Can't imagine any of these are going to be sold at MSRP with all the fuckery that Honda dealers engage in.

I could not agree more. I said that earlier in the thread. Just add a nice duck tail spoiler.
