Discrete or what?

Edinburra · 04-24-2017, 09:51 AM

I must be getting too old, this is just unreal. Gross, a teenagers wet dream. Do you think that the designer of the rear of the car fell out with the designer of the front end? Too, too over the top for my liking. Probably performs well enough a the engine will most likely be a belter but the styling is, well to put it mildly, not to my taste.

davyk31 · 04-24-2017, 09:55 AM

A total mess from front bumper to rear bumper.

Postcab · 04-24-2017, 09:59 AM

I know the body kit is a bit OTT, but what the hell were they thinking with all that red pin striping? And the triple exhaust?

Chrismac13 · 04-24-2017, 10:00 AM

Well you certainly wouldnt lose it in the car park

DarrenL_007 · 04-24-2017, 10:04 AM

I'm not old and would happily drive a Focus RS but would be embarrassed to drive this.

I do understand that there is a market for this type of.....ermm whatever it is and have peers who disagree with me and would stump up £30k for it.

GOLFFRR · 04-24-2017, 10:06 AM

besides the look its really hard to argue the performance this thing is putting out. did you see the ring video, wow

rich100 · 04-24-2017, 10:17 AM

What we need to is convince CazuaLLUK to buy one of these for his next project.

Within 6 months it won't look anything like that at all.

Oi

I drive an F30, give me some credit on taste. My car does look good!

On topic though, my neighbor has one of these across the road, it's horrific!

Darth Helmut · 04-24-2017, 10:27 AM

It's almost like Honda have cut out the middle man and gone straight for the 'Barry Boy' look from the off.

JustChris · 04-24-2017, 10:53 AM

Transformers 5 out early.

Honda are losing the plot, whats that HCV/HGV thing look like! Have you seen one on the road, I nearly cut an eyeball on those angles!!!!

EDIT: Just saw a great comment on AutoCar.....it looks like a Dixons HiFi

It was a backhanded compliment mate... I was hoping you maybe able to make this thing more aesthetically pleasing ....

willjames · 04-24-2017, 12:32 PM

Extremely uncouth!😝

Just a little bit OTT.

Yet again they pretty much strip down the car to go around the ring, just how heavy is the infotainment system?

I'm with you, it's different, ott and and stands out. It's what you want from a type R, especially in matte black...

Oh I've just made a mess.... I love it. Makes a change from the boring 'sophistication' of BMW styling... it's like the designers took some magic mushrooms and then went to work!

Bibbles · 04-25-2017, 02:56 AM

I don't mind it in black, looks a bit like an Essex batmobile. Anyone over 35 driving one is going to look like a massive midlife crisis twat though.
