Going for a test drive! Local Honda dealership offered the me chance. Seems they have 7 ordered and one on a tow truck. (new owner took the front out parking on his drive 30 mins after picking it up)

Cool...let us all know what you think...I'm in two minds as it SHOULD be far more of an event than the wife's Golf-R, but I'm not 100% taken with the looks or the early journo reports...or my local dealer's attitude towards test-drives*! :(


* 15mins only, AFTER they've been through all the paperwork to make sure I can afford the car / want to pay the money.

Im buying my NSX from them so they have taken a shine to me.
I have to say I've never liked the space age look of the civic. The new R was designed, so I understand, to around a track quicker than any other front wheel drive car. To me its too ostentatious. I like to sheep in wolfs clothing idea. I find my Legend goes unnoticed. Most referring to it as a merc!!
