276hp Civic... hmmm?

Can it be? A 276hp turbocharged Civic? I might have to start respecting Honda again soon??? Maybe? But, it better look identical to the concept.

Noooooo....I wont believe it until im driving one.

yah, but i read it's only for japan and euro markets.

usdm kids want it, but they aren't allowed to have good things (cant afford it). lol

Needs to be AWD.

i still remember back in the 80's they had so many cool boomboxes and walkmans in jdmland that would never reach american shores.

not that the radio stations would work fully to begin with (different bands), but huge contrast in products available for americans...

Looks fun. But not in the league of vehicles i'm interested in.

Pshhhh... well that's the death knell for the twins in their current form.

Probably handles and brakes better too.

That thing better come to the US. Honda is slacking so hard, the current gen si? wtf is that?

They've released a couple of vids of this car so far, in this ad the type r driver is on the leftside while the regular version is on the right. maybe it might come to the us? lol fingers crossed

First we need the Civic hatch to come back, then we can worry about the Type-R. I don't think the US arm of Honda is capable of dropping a bomb like that...

Back in England there are type R's all over the place. All kids drive them. Poor USA, they / we only get type S(hite)
