Type R or not I still don't like any of the new civics. I wish they would bring the EK9s

Yeah that just looks like the rear end of england CTR. Anyways here is what is in the article about it in last months HT.


"its Here! Or there, rather, as the new Honda Civic Type R concept was revealed at the Geneva Auto Show back in March. But don't hold your breath, the future Civic R will largely be marketed AND sold to the European crowd--Primarily in the UK, where it's going to be built in early 2007. Like the last Civic Type R, the new R concept is based on the Euro-Spec Civic Hatchback. Bold in bright yellow with smoked windows all around, the show car shows off a much different R-style then we're used too ( I think it looks like a Peugeot 206 on steroids ). It is big on fashion, with a full aero kit featuring black mesh and oversized wheels and tires. Meanwhile, there seems to be few changes in the performance figures. Although little was said about the car's construction and handling characteristics, the Civic R will be powered by the same K20A2 as the last model, providing it with around 200 hp. In other words, from the outset, it could be that the new Civic Type R is more USDM Si than true raw R. OR Vice Versa. Only time will tell. More Info Forthcoming at the London Motor Show in Junly."

It looks similar to the EP3. A mini-mini van!
