Honda revs up for Paris with hot Civic Type-R

I wouldn't laugh too hard that car is light and with a 2.0 turbo may surprise you..

Chances of coming to the US....2%

kenchan · 09-30-2014, 08:54 AM

I'm laughing hard, U.S would never get this car plus it's a civic!

People have short term memories or are too young too remember what it was like to race against modified civics and integras in the 90's. If this car is a resurgence of that era? This car will be very respectable. That said, respectable hatches don't come to the US anymore... Ford, AN AMERICAN CORPORATION even took 2 decades to give us the European focus. Lol.

The hatch just don't appeal much to the American market.
Then again I quite lost my confidence with Honda in this generation.

i didnt know, too late anyway for me, but long time ago they shipped a handful of R32's in MT to the US. always wanted that hatch but DSG-only offering killed it for me.

Indeed. Coming from Europe we got all the goodies ... inc the hot hatches.

I had a Integra Type R with a K24a2 swap...dyno at 248. Very nice fast and light car....but no 370z....People complain about road noise in a 370? The Type R had no sound deadening.

At this rate, honda needs to make the CIvic AWD to handle the power. They used to make awd civics
