I am big fan of the civic hatch and would buy one in a second....I used to have a 99 hatch and loved it....I don't think we'll see these in the US though....

I don't know..I guess it's just my affinity for my old hatchback that draws me toward that stying??

I like this alot, even the headlights look great. I saw pics of this way back and knew once again that us Americans were going to be robbed of another cool hatch.

I liked the Type R version also, but I'm 32 so I remember the old civic hatches and the still cool CRX's. I'd buy one of these without flinching if they were offered on our shores.

check this out, i navigated the italian website for a little bit and i got to where you build your own car. If you select type r you get 3 motor choices
2.0 IVTEC
2.0 IVTEC Race
2.0 IVTEC Ipilot

Can anybody who speaks /reads italian a little more fluently then myself like to figure out the differences, i'm dying to know what else we been robbed of.

Nice, I'll take a Ducati 1098R, a Type R Race and a nice Italian woman who's mother can bake homemade manicotti.

[Gr3y Goose]

i think that the type r race comes with spaghetti
