"Honda announced the new Civic Type S, a 3-door hatchback which is the latest model in the transformation of Honda’s iconic C-segment brand into a premium, individual, sporty range. Sales are expected to commence in early 2007. This new model makes its world debut at the British International Motor Show on July, 18th 2006."

Taken from a review found on Topspeed. It talks about the Civic S's features and design.. quite interesting..
Also packed with the article are some nice high-res photos, worked very nice for me

Anyway here's the link to the whole thing: http://www.topspeed.com/cars/h....html

 

awesome!

 

WOW. Cool stuff on that model. Not impressed by the performance, but how different it is from the USDM model. "I-Drive" like navigation, push button start (a la S2K), HID's available, dual zone AC, heated seats, auto wipers/headlights, etc. Very feature rich, looks like they're seriously going after cars like the VW Golf.

 

Is this going to be available here in the states?

 

1. looks ugly as sin
2. 2.2 liter diesal turbo 140 horse

don't think so, honda europe made the announcement, so guessing its europe only.

 

I hope that isnt the replacement of the "type-R" prototype on the honda.co.uk site.... cuz if it is... oh honda honda honda... have pity on thee.

 

I swear it looks like some futuristic design from the 80s. I think of Bobby Brown's Dont Be Cruel when I see that car.

 

i think i tlooks good

 

140 HP!?!?!?!!

 

Gay, not even a k-series in it.

 

yea 140 hp because it's a diesal and because its only the type s. the type r will probably come out with a 200hp gas motor

 

IT BETTER!

 

I'd have to adjust to its looks
