i love the r32 design lovely looking cars and the interior well to die for !! but as for the speed of them i dont rate them at all !! and i think at a standing start the civic type R would have it due to the weight of them ! but top end thats where the r32 would shine in all its glory !!

Simon123, the new Tyope-R is already out, distinguished by the indicators in the mirrors.  They have no more power but the clutch has been changed and the rear suspension geometry changed as the older ones have a problem with scudding out rear tyres after only 4000 miles.  Honda are not bringing out a faster civic as they are turning their attention to the new integra type-r which is currently only available as an import in the UK at the moment.

As for the EVO 7 Lancer losing to an R32, I'm sorry i did'nt know stevie wonder had an Evo, whoever wa driving the evo needs to hang their head in shame, I like the R32 and respect it as a fast car, but it is not a patch on  a lancer let a lone an Evo7 the last of the fast evo's.  The R32 is quick but teh Evo is an out and out  monster with trickery such a sYaw control so will out pace an R32 on the corners and the straights.

I know both the R32 and the Evo's drivers and their not afraid to give it stick so all i can do is go off what ive been told. BUT the R32s styling will still look good in 10 years time like all of the golf marques, will the flying doorwedge civic still cut it then?I doubt it! look at a Starion or a Colt and early Lancers look dodgy  :-[ Jap stuff is cutting edge and very well put together-now, but dates too quickly.

German styling is subtle but still cutting edge, remember mark 4 headlights with indicators inside? wow! Merc mirrors with indicators in? Audi mesh front ends?

French styling is robbing off the above and making it out of balsa wood and sticking a tractor engine inside!!! Saxo owners take note!!  ;D

Final point, when you buy germanic you know that it won't drop money like a Saxo off a cliff and you will still get a decent few quid for it come upgrade time!!!  8) MMMM R32 please! ;)
