Arrow 2007 Civic Type R

www.redh.co.uk

I finally figured out what the website was really all about. After installing the Red H widget it automatically applied the following desktop. Unfortunately we won't be getting this pocket rocket here in the US (at least not that I've heard). Personally I'm really looking forward to Top Gear and the Stig getting their hands on it. I can only imagine what Clarkson will have to say about the styling.





Just for fun I threw a poll on.

I really like the GTI as well, especially the interior, though I'd have to see some more shots of this before I could decide. What I did love was the last UK Type R (the equivalent to our SI, but with a bunch of sweet upgrades).

That looks like the old minvan looking one. UGLY! The new Si looks nice though.

Exactly. The SI is sharp. But this? Why don't they just call this version the Ford Focus II?

The 06 SI (US) is pretty slick looking, but not nearly as aggressive as this and the previous UK variants.

That car is rumored to have the same engine and bhp as the US spec SI. Dont know how true it is though. And it is quite an ugly car. I much prefer the gti or even the rabbit(with the factory upgraqde kit and 18 inch wheels.) If that rabbit could be had with 2.0T engine, my girl would have snatched it up in a heartbeat. And anyone who hasnt gone to VW.com, check it out. Build and mate your rabbit. And than choose another mate at the bottom of the screen. It will give you a serious laugh.
