HR-V: Five years old – One year on.

My Honda HR-VWhat was your first car? Was it a little Fiesta/Corsa/Panda etc? I bet you had it because of insurance/cheap to run reasons right?

These were the vehicles I was looking at whilst having lessons late 2004/early 2005. None of them really appealed though as I would always be thinking ‘I’d like something a little bigger… with a bit more speed and reliability’.

There was always one car I’d liked the look of (more…)

Honda Civic Type R

The 2007 Civic Type RThey said it was dead – they said no more ‘Type R’ Civics would ever be made…

But, ladies and gentlemen – It’s back from the dead in its new 2006 3-door body shell form. These are the first shots of the new 2007 Honda Civic Type R.

Wow.

As if the standard version didn’t look good enough (well – the European version anyway), this thing is awesome. Anyone who says Honda is dull, boring and only make cars for old people, well, I’ll let the pictures do the talking ;-)

The rear of the 2007 Type R CivicWhat’s also amazing is that they are talking about doing a ‘Type RR’ – an idea borrowed from the motorbike division, featuring lightweight carbon fibre-bodied versions of the Type R’s. Can’t wait for the shots of those!

“When is it out?” I hear you scream (or is that just in my head?)… early 2007 is the answer. More details will tip up during the Geneva Motor show taking place next week.
