question in regards to the CTR

all the extras will only be on a "special edition CW GT", so if you were to get a milano GT you would get what we get now ?

Aw well can't say I'm too bothered by the new model... still prefer my own by far!

The Type-S has been the winner here!

Sekhmet · 2nd October 2008, 12:57

All of these changes implemented on the CW CTR, are they also going to be standard equipment on other CTRs, the NHB, Milano red and Silver 2009 models?

Or the CW is now certainly a special edition? Read plenty more= $$$

The 5-door is worse (although the rear light cluster looks better)

The CTR is more or less unchanged ...

The Type S is much improved looks-wise ! ...

Rich 11 · 2nd October 2008, 13:01

Yes agreed the CTR skin wise looks identical its that LSD and proper steel petrol cap that I like

Wheelchair · 2nd October 2008, 13:05

I think the black Type-S looks very smart.

Not keen on the new Type-R style dash.

What's the button next to the i-Shift lever for?

For the first time a conventional automatic transmission is now available on the Civic 5-door model

..........and that could be the clincher for me getting another in 2010, they do listen then

Wheelchair · 2nd October 2008, 13:11

Not with that grill though!

Rich 11 · 2nd October 2008, 13:11

Apprently this will be the next Civic in 2009 ??
2009 HONDA CIVIC CONCEPT

These images are of possibly the next Honda Civic. The biggest change will be the diesel engine option. The new car will be much larger, about as big as the previous model Accord. The next Civic will have a 140-hp, 1.8-Liter, 16-Valve SOHC i-VTEC® 4-cylinder engine,5-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmission. The price will be upped about $25,000-$34,990 for the Diesel.

More information will appear soon. Expect to see the 2009 Civic Concept at NAIAS 2008. And see at showrooms late 2008, as a 2009 model.

I,m confussed ???

Wheelchair · 2nd October 2008, 13:12

That's an old Accord concept.

Having now read the whole thing and looked at the pictures:

Auto Box - Big Yes (wonder what the mpg and Co2 will be?)
Improved seat fabrics - Yes
USB - Yes
Dashboard plastics - Yes

No change to suspension - Big No
No upgraded SatNav (cameras) - No

That front grille - not a showstopper

Just waiting for the Hybrid line up for 2010 plus the next gen Civic.

J. Derek Riddell · 2nd October 2008, 13:22

If I was buying soon, I'd probably be very happy with the new 5-Door EX ...

BUT - I'd definitely want the rear bumper and front grill from the Type S ! ...

(Or - perhaps preferably - fit the original 'cylon-look' perspex ?) ...

Unknownsoldier · 2nd October 2008, 13:30

TBH, I think the new facelifts look cheap and nasty................ oh, nad wWTF are they doing putting a 1.4 in a CTS?????????????? It's like having a 1.4 CTR, pointless, and just done so 17 year olds have something they can modify

TBH, I'm glad I have one of the Original lot, not the tacky "Blinged out" 'next gen', TBH the new Type S grill is hideous, and looks incredibly tacky, what with the silver surroundy bit on it? Why not just use the same grill as the R????

Is it me or does the white type r look old ?

And as for the standard wheels, they look awful !!

Doesn't look anything special to me at all.

A bit yes, those standard alloys I agree, look cheap. But I think the CW would look much different with splitters and 19'' Rage alloys. Much better

Who said the seat fabrics are improved, they are different, but not necessarily better.....

Yes, the rages and splitters would help, but white will date very quickly.

Seems to be the new fad colour at the moment, but will soon fade away again.

I believe there will be another optional 19" alloy for the white type r.

Has anyone got any opics of these?
