Not sure how much of that tit I can take.

This is actually worse than Ford's live presentation, and that's saying something!

He looks like an estate agent.

That isn't a compliment

(sorry estate agents..)

Quite amusing the place is in half darkness, maybe they think its ugly too and are trying to hide it

[Ali_T]

Wake me up when they get to an actual car.

A trainee estate agent

NSX does look lovely. Better in the live stream than the photos. But engineered by a man called Ted?!

[Ali_T]

AAAAARGH, my ears. Kill the yoof music please.

The finest handling sportscar ever were once engineered by a man called Colin..

[Ali_T]

True, that.

And the Civic doesn't look any better moving. That rear end is so ridiculously bulky! If you'r buying one, it would have to be black, to hide the stupid lower black detailing, and with some form of optional silver wheel to look less bulky and under wheeled, visually.

Dear god it looks even worse. Whats with the chunk out of the front wheel arch at the front ? looks like someone mistakenly lopped a bit out of the clay model.

Windscreen looks awfully laid back, the b-pillars are surely going to restrict vision ?

ETA: no EPB, but the lever was on the passenger side of the centre console ? very odd.

Still find it amusing they've launched a car in the dark.

Given the choice out of the 'hyper' hatches. Hyper being used to denote +300bhp. Id plump for the Focus RS.

[DanielSan]

I like it, but somehow feel a bit underwhelmed.

[pti]

Disappointing. Looks a bit frumpy. Interior looks good and I'm sure it'll drive great but it's certainly not a looker.

0-62 in 5.7? That is Pathetic, Honda engineers must have cried themselves to sleep a few weeks ago when the Focus RS was announced as 4WD.
I imagine this being totally outsold by the RS.

Shows you how spoiled we are that 0-62 in 5.7 seconds is regarded as pathetic.

I'm sure it'll be more than plenty fast out there in the real world.
