What car did I see this morning?

[funkyrobot]

Going along the A17 to work this morning and I noticed an unknown (to me) vehicle travelling along the other side of the road. At first glance I thought it was a new shape Scirocco but then I noticed a Honda badge.

It was silver in colour, on foreign number plates, and the front looked exactly like the Scirocco. I don't really know my Hondas very well but I'm sure i've never seen a car like this before.

Any ideas anyone? The boot looked fairly square and sort of resembled that of an Accord or something similar. However, the car was a sporty looking hatch, maybe of similar style and size to the Integra.

It was a Sciroccord.

Possibly the new CR-Z?

I didn't have a clue what one of these was until my neighbour bought one.

I think you have it!

Well done, i'm pretty sure that's what I saw. It was white and looked quite nice actually.

Edited to say - hopefully you can see where I got the Scirocco impression from. But, I have no idea where I got the boot idea from! That's mirrors for you!

Pretty sure it wasn't because I would think Volvo or Audi when looking at that in the distance. The car I saw had a front-end very similar to a Scirocco.

i would say it'll be a CRZ NOT the new civic.

Honda's development team havent even got a working model built up as yet as far as i have seen anywhere.. Worldcarfans usually get scoops on stuff like this up pretty sharpish and there certainly hasnt been anything up there yet..

The 2011 'New' Civic pics in Auto express have been buzzing around for about a year now!

I really do doubt it was a CRZ, it looked so much more like the new Civic than the CRZ. I was in traffic on an A road so I didn't get a good look (like you would get if it was parked up, for instance), but it really resembled the Scirocco. The CRZ, in my opinion, doesn't really.
