No, there's £5000 difference. The type of people who won't care about the retail price are those who will buy the car on a lease or using some form of finance, as it then becomes a game of monthly payments versus spec once a car is chosen. I just don't see why someone would opt for a Japanese FWD Civic over a Golf R, M235i etc. Only the hardcore Honda fans surely? Which means that Honda won't be doing very well as like it or not, those type of fans do not make up a significant amount of the market. The reason the EP3 sold so well is because you could buy one for £16000 and it was better than the Golf GTI and most of the other hatches around.30k is the same as 35k
Honda don't really do extras. You get what you get with the model you choose.
Not like German cars with an option list.

rowbo said:Nope ! Just heard from a contact in Swindon
jamesmckelvie said:The Doctor UK said:Ok I know jack s*** about developing cars etc but lets just say this 2016 rumour is right, what on earth are they doing to this car for it to be delayed until 2016. Please don't say they are waiting for the RS to show up.
Working on keeping it running, believe it has been cutting out a lot during testing.
Mind you honda don't really do turbos either.
