If it were me, I do not like this design, buy this type of car, like the exhaust sound should be larger fishes it, and it has become a low-key look, we can not let ordinary people as models modified version of it.
Next, look at the Civic TypeRLimitedEdition, which is different from SportLine low-key, but has a bias radicalization of adjustment, but this literally translated as “limited edition” name, is not it a bit too perfunctory.
first thing to say is, TypeRLimitedEdition added a paint, was named “PhoenixYellow”, is actually yellow, the colors used on TypeR may make us think of the previous Honda Integra.

This software is like a car remote sensing device, if car races more familiar friends may have heard the word, by displaying data to allow the driver to intuitively understand also need to practice in what .
Civic TypeR messages always attract attention of fans, although the domestic market can not buy, but does not affect its position in the domestic consumer’s mind.
and in the beginning of this year, Honda has announced the Civic hatchback will be made and sold, fastback styling is undoubtedly more in line with “Little Cannon” shape.
While the 1.5T engine or domestic version of the model used, but these two limited edition models overseas design domestic modified car enthusiasts will probably provide some ideas.
