nothing as of yet. Its going to be the same engine as the current type R and ive been told by honda head of marketing that their aint gonna be an R R version. But he did say that would depend on what the customers want. This car is aimed at 25 - 40 year olds. Price tag is around 18k and not the 20 odd k that was suggested.
Can anyone remember when the Focus first came out. Everyone HATED it.
Styling was said to be OTT, jesus im old enough to remember when they released the FIRST Sierra. first car with a slanting bonnet. EVERYONE HATED IT. Said it would never work. Nearly every car now has a slanting bonnet.
I have great confidence in this car and the response from the customers has been unreal. Exsisting honda customers love it. Some dont but its all down to personal choice. This car is definatley a grower. Im still unsure of the back but its growing. Its only taken a year but its growing. LOL

I liked the Focus ST.
aimed at 25-40 year olds  I'd be embarressed if I was 40 years old and driving that new CTR. Would really look like you were trying to be young again.

Yes, but the current CTR isn't over the top. It's relatively subtle.
Basically just looks like a sporty hatch back.
looks like it's ram raided halfords.

Its all down to personal preference.
I think its superb and such a brave move by Honda and i know im gonna sell loads of these on the new 07 plate. maybe even the 65 plate if people dont wanna wait.

I like it, car design is moving fast and Honda are one step ahead of the game with this one! When it comes for time for this to be replaced everyone will be saying how bland it looks!
