Looks very stylish for a Jap motor. Will be quick though.

I hope Honda make this car really special after owning loads if Hondas and a few type r and working for them for 10 years. If they make it drive right it will be great and I am sure I will take one out for a very long test drive when one lands at my dealers

Yer but only 276bhp, it's got to beat the Megane and I heard they might be releasing a r300r meg soon. Let alone the new rs focus when it comes out.  Chassis got to be real hot IMO.

I hear the chassis is an absolute peach, clever rear steer or something? proper diff, proper brakes, not going to fall apart like a clown car - what's not to like??

X2 ^^

Saw them testing against a Focus RS500 (350bhp) in Auto Express mag. I did the "my car check" on the reg and it shows up as a 2.2 petrol  :party:

No doubt bullet proof reliability and sharp handling like the last one, but with loads of torque to go with it (and cheaper road tax)

Not due out until 2015 so no doubt they are taking their time to get it right  :innocent:

Looking forward to the reviews

2015 model will be 2.0 turbo with no vtec. Like one in clip.

Hmm they have declared to the DVLA that the test car is a 2.2 so either they lied to DVLA or they are testing an engine they aren't going to put into production?

It's looking likely that the 2.2 will stay
