I just took a look at this when I was checking out the Evo X article on the same site. The styling (wing, Brembo brakes, rear diffuser and seats) here just screams Evo to me. That being said, the engine is impressive and it is a pretty cool car. Honda sure can make a four banger scream.

wow thats really looks a lot like the x

 

type R's have always had the seats that look like that (in japan) and the wing also. The only thing thats new is the face thats its a 4 door and still a long way from being an evo

 

But give Honda its due. For an N/A it is a damn good car.

 

Looks nice enough to drive. Probably costs a fortune though.

 

"At the equivalent of $25,000 in Japan, the Civic Type R is a performance bargain."

id rather have a used evo

 

+1 couldnt have said better myself ... weight 2,800 as a four door =) still with interior...

222hp out of a 2.0 NA four cyc.. that's awesome! 111hp per liter

 

It'll be marked WAY up over here. Way more Honda Fan Boys then Evo Fan Boys. Look to pay 29K State Side.


I Envy it's weight.

 

+1

 

damn......i can just imagine a k20 like that in a EG/EK hatchback. 222hp up top in a 2400lb shell kicks pretty good a$$.

 

hell ya i got a friend here that has a cx EG hatch ... and it weights 2000 wet without him... and it has a k20 .. that HAD a comptech SC on it for awhile...thing was FAST

 

that interior is beautiful. I hope it comes to the states.

 

It probably won't happen. As usual we will always get the second best (Si).
But it would sell and I think it will do well especially now that there is no Type-R in
Honda- USA's lineup and it hasn't been in 6 yrs.

 

it does look better than previous civics, but for the money i'd rather buy a 06ecllipse GT and smoke it ;-)

 

Sad to say that car would run circles around the Eclipse on a road course.
