i dont think anything i can type can describe how COOL that is!!

[FC3S]

cool.
looks like a capucino from the back!

[Sp33dY]

aBSOLUTELY SHITHOT example of a Beat ... that rear end shot with insane camber is so damn hot!

[Babalouie]

Yeah, from what i know both the honda beat and cappuccino were based off an MG shell, plz correct if i am wrong.

Dunno about that.....the beat came out before the MG, and the MG did copy a lot of the Beat's details, as well as copy the hoodlatch design from the MX5 (the MG designer Gerry McGovern said so). Particularly if you look at the MG and the Beat from above, the design cues are very similar.

The Cappucino is an FR car and isn't really related to the MG in any way.

Sick....Purpose built :)

I read somewhere that perhaps mg had either had a hand in the design of the chassis or it was sold to honda.... although last time i remember hearing of it was several years ago :)

time for me to research

The design of the car originated from Pininfarina, who then sold the design plan to Honda, and then in turn sold it on MG Rover who then used it to build the MG F.

there we are

[Hens]

[Deviliss]

[VTECMACHINE]

[Justin Fox]

[Evan]

That looks tuff as nails.

[Gorilla]

awesome, huge brakes too! That would be soo much fun!

[black200]

i prefer the midship 4age crx :D

[Sp33dY]

Pics of this midship crx? :)

[kawasaki]

i dont see why u would want a midship crx let alone one powered by a 4age when a b16a engine is far superior

[Gorilla]

4age owns b16a. Better b uilt, and stronger, not as powerful tho

[Jing]

errrrrrr didnt you watch Initial d? the Duct tape deathmatch? :p

[kawasaki]

i dont see b16's just blowing up every second..... anyway this discussion is for a different thread
