I finally have had the opportunity to see and touch the real thingy recently and I am all praised for the new model. I kinda like the executive look with nice chrome door handles and......the rear, I like, as it looks very muscular from behind :lol:

The interior feels nice and comfy and the new steering felt good when I "handled" it. :lol: The build quality seems to be better as well and there is no hint that it's Thai made....may be wrong here :lol:

I think the Modulo kit will make it look more macho and "transform" it into a "chick magnet"....muahaha. Very executive..yet muscular like the SC300.

One must see the real thing to appreciate what Honda has done...photos can't really bring out the "beast" within. Kekeke.... :lol:

Hi BlackKnight_CM5,

Changing to CP soon? <Cochran> had already booked his.

Which one did you view? The Polished Metal Metallic CP1 or the Brillant White Pearl CP2?

Everthing looks bigger and better than our CM, only one thing - the side mirror tends to wobble a little when you close the front door.

No lah. Juz happen to be around Tiong Bahru during lunch so juz pop by to leng keng lor. Saw the white one. The slam on the door was very continential like. :lol: Definitely will consider this....if the price drops after 2 years.

Who knows, maybe the new Euro R will be out by then :twisted:

Sincerely hope that your wait won't be in vain -- because now that the new JDM CTR is a sedan, I personally don't have high hopes of a new Euro R.
