Thanks, nice scan. although i dont really like any of those cars...isn't the eCOTY also in #75?
btw for some weird reason i kinda like the look of that C4...

Yes it is, and it's the next that will be scanned... Sunday since I will be away Saturday.. maybe I will start tonight, but I fear it is VERY long as always.. or more :D

Leon Cupra R is a great looking car with great engine and so... but would still go for what a HOT-hatch is supposed to be... as focused as a Civic Type-R! Great peace of machinery

Citroen C4 remind me of BMW 5-series, see the frontlights

[noosee]

Thanks TT.
I was waiting for this one :D

For me the Civic and the Leon are too dated to being compared with the C4 simply can´t compete with its french rival in many areas that are more important for everyday drivers such security, standart equipment, confort and desing. Although the EVO testers want to say another things because they are a kind of hardcore drivers and the R´s satisface their tastes. (In the most of spanish mags the driveability of the C4 is excelent, progerssive and sporty!))
I´m thinking seriously to buy a C4 in a not very far time!!

A hot hatch test and the 147 GTA left out???? :x
Thanks for the scans, TT :)
