I'm going to get one, and keep it in the boot in case of emergencies!

 

Cynicism apart, Honda is starting to make interesting cars again, after too many years in the wilderness. The new Civic Type R and NSX mea that once again the brand has some credible performance cars, and some new off-the-wall Kei cars help to ramp up some interest from the press.

Although Kei cars are irrelevant outside of Japan, some of the packaging solutions and ingenious engineering which go into them may influence the larger, more relevant models.

Anything which enhances Honda's credibility and profile with enthusiasts has to be a good thing.

 

Have you also seen the Civic coupe concept?

Far more old-Skool Honda than the Ladas they've recently foisted upon the US.

I always liked the CRZ so thats good

Have a mental block for the Civ after dtiving that utter shat FN2 thing

 

S1000 thing looks like it cometh ...... that might tempt me away from an MX5 purchase. New S2000 ( if it cometh and doesn't get stuck in the womb) is also looking nice but i think it will be too expensive here.

 

I remember back in the day when the S600 and S800 arrived! How we laughed and laughed at those rubbish small cars.
