The Civic Type R we got from the UK was absolute crap in comparison to the real 'FD2' Civic Type R Japan had, it was a 'Type R' only by name.

The Accord Euro was also another great car they killed.

The current model Civic Type R is great though, but its too little too late, they went from one of the great Japanese manufacturers, then tried to emulate Toyota with their white goods strategy (which has suddenly changed to attract younger buyers) and failed miserably.

What Bossxr8 says is correct in my eyes, you wouldn't get me in a Honda aside from the current model Civic Type R.

Honda should look into a RHD variation of the Ridgeline IMO, might be what their brand needs in our market thats obsessed with dual cab utes:

Last version of Legend was interesting - advanced 4wd system in a sedan body and decent V6 . Honda has expertise but it seems to be lost in defining its purpose . Economy cars have gone to Hyundai , Toyota and VW . Honda (and Subaru) should look for niches .
