Looks like they willonly be offered later. This has been their practice in the past. Quote Link to comment
joveyb Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 yes thats correct nearly every car in the middle market and even lower priced cars have ABS as standard...every car company wants to put safety first. Even Lancers have (EBD electronic brakeforce distribution) that was only found in higher priced cars like the Evo...but because competition of the smaller car market has gone up due to fuel costs companies are giving them away for free! and i did get to see the new 8th gen Honda at a local dealership, they had one for a demo...and i must say its butt ugly...im sorry but its just butt ugly...too boxy, plain styling...maybe for the 30s and up with family will like this car but for young group noo unless its free from your parents.... anyone see the new replacement of the Nissan Pulsar the Tilda... :sick:<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think you are right to say that the butt is ugly. But it is not as bad as it looks. Anywayto me the looks is not that ugly but just presentable. What i go for is its performance and its amenities which is amazing on the inside. Is the Honda produced in the philippinesor imported Quote Link to comment

joveyb Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 New HOnda Civic will be launched in April but I do know that some customers because of theirrelationship with Honda Company get to have their car much earlier. Anyone has bought them or seethem on the road Quote Link to comment
luol_deng Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 are the Philippines going to get the Honda Civic Sports 2.0L more power with 114Kws and 181Nm Torque??? It looks much better than the standard Civic...it looks like a combo of Honda Accord Euro rear and Honda Integra front... btw the Honda Civic is getting some major points for the digital tachos...

From your description i guess the honda civic is already launchedin Australia. So the honda civic sports 2.0 has the same power as the present honda civic thati am driving right now. Just 4 days ago I took it for a ride in the countryside and completed a 500kmround trip. It is amazing. I love the exhiliaration. When a certain truck wants to make a go at me,i just hit the accelerator and I was surprised when I look at the speedometer, it has already reached 150kph. When the australian currency is around $1=42pesos. So it is around 1.3million pesos in australiafor a 2.0vtec. Good that it is still cheaper here in the philippines. I wonder whether they willincrease the price of the new honda civic. Yes the front of the honda civic looks good. but people are complaining about the back. anywayi go for the power and the internal amenitiies. In formula 1 Honda is going to be a force to be reckon with this 2006 Quote Link to comment

Definitely the honda 2.0 cannot be compared to the evo.It s a thoroughbred speed car. Everybody knows about the evo especially for speedcraze drive. I think a year back a saw it displayed at glorietta. Actually they saythat the last mitsubishi lancer model esp the evo III was good. Just the companyhas bad publicity and going thru financial difficulties so people were scared to buyone. But my salute to you for having the evo. Of course I would like to try the evo III.My friends has the Mitsushi Airtrak turbo charged. He told me when when they reached90 to 110 the car just become alive and ready to go. I wished I can try the evo one day.Yap I am crazy for speed. Quote Link to comment

Yea bro its really scary when you lift that thing from 1st to 3rd it just takes off the ground like a rocket, and he has included a blow off valve so basically after every gear shift you hear that hissing sound. Apart from that I have driven a Nissan R34 not GTR but GTS-T just like the Evo it really takes off. You should include a turbo in your Honda 2.0 V-TEC? haha i have seen plenty of Civics in Australia modified with a turbo. Quote Link to comment
joveyb Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 It is said that the new honda civic is based on a global platform. But cars built for the three major market; europe, japan and north america are tailored specifically to meet local customer andlegisaltive requirement. look at this honda civic Quote Link to comment
