I quite like it, reminds me of the old Volvo estates that used to be in the BTCC.

 

that civic has a bigger boot than the new accord!

I wonder what engine they will be using in it...

 

Based on what was being said on Facebook, the theory was that it would be based on the new Civic Type R engine (2 litre turbo jobby). There was also a rumour that Honda might bring out a Honda Civic estate Type R based off this race car! Could be interesting.

 

Nice, Alex

want one !
just a small matter of where to keep it, what to tell the other half, how to disguise the bank account deficit...or maybe more to the point how to PAY for it anyway !

zzzzzzzzz, zzzzzzzz, zzzzzzz ....what a nice dream I was having...............

 

Yeah I agree Pete, I quite like it. I have always liked the idea of fast practical estates. I saw the Vauxhall Insignia VXR estate recently and I don't like to admit it but it wasn't bad looking to be fair. The idea of a Honda Civic Type R estate is brilliant because its a HONDA!

I know what you mean ! had three Accord Aerodeck estates, the originals I mean 1990 stuff, the last being a '97 2.2 dropped and chipped it was quite a stealth motor for the time.

 

I think it looks pretty good... odd, but good!
I wonder why they decided to use an estate? I wonder if it is an attempt to market it more effectively?

 

Big change for them chassis wise, comapred to the Civic which was really very short, almost square!

Probably easier to save if someone gives you a big nudge

 

^^Maybe be called the Civic Aerodeck "R" then i hope, as i have one
As well as AP1 facelift btw
