looks badass

not a big fan of the chrome on the grille though....same goes for the US 4 door civics

 

doubt we'll be seeing it in the states

Same....as usual Honda has to bone us in the ***....

Time to move....again.

 

It actually doesn't look too bad.

 

i just want the brakes and rims!!!!! that **** FTW! again, not a fan of chrome, but with those headlights/front bumper and brake/rim set up, that is awesome

 

Be patient. This is only my speculation but I suspect the HCTR might be made available in the US by the 2008 or 2009 model year if the '07 Mugens sell out fast and/or there are more Si Sedan sales than Honda expected.

I think it largely depends on Honda's manufacturing capacity for these: I see them being a big hit in Japan so if it doesn't make its way to the US anytime soon it might be that they're just doing too well in Japan

This car looks like a dream FF sport compact: all of the fun of an ITR in Sedan form with a significant power boost in stock.

 

So this is the Type-R most people are referring to? I guess I will go eat my crow pie after going on a rant about how the British Type-R really isn't that much of an improvement on our Si, this is a whole different ballgame.

dam thats bad *** man i sure cant wait to get a hold of those wheels

 

If this one gets produce. I guarantee the Si sedan will sell more.

 

I just wish they would make a type R in 2 door form for the states, the 4 door Si is cool and definitely very fun to drive...don't get me wrong...but the demand of the 4 door is pretty low here in MD, we've had 2 of them sitting at our dealership for about 2 weeks now, and I've only had 1 customer on one. We definitely had a good time test-driving it though ;-)

 

WOW! looks sick! not a fan of the chrome tho...if it came out in the US as a 2-door coupe id be willing to trade in the SI for it.

 

I don't see much chrome...

 

man why they give the US the ugly civic

that car is hooooooooot

 

LOL I dont think my sedan is ugly!!

 

i wish we had a body kit like that for the 06 Si.

 

all of my si sedans sold out as soon as we got them. As did all of the 2door coupe si's sold out way before i even got the allocations by honda..lol

 

If we were assured that it would be coming to the US I would definately save my pennies for one. Makes me happy in pants.

 

I found some footage of it on the Japan Honda website.

The side Type-R sticker looks too large. I want to get pulled over by that. LOL.

To OP: Europe has already gotten an 8th gen CTR.

 

i think all sedans have the same front end minus the body kit in all other countries except north america...so i think a type r conversion for the sedan is possible..

 

yeah, if you have a JDM civic all you have to do to make it look like a type r is change the front bumper/grill, sideskirts, rearbumper, and wing to type r.

 

Here's a a pic I snapped a few days ago at my local Honda dealership, I got a brochure for the new Civic R and I checked it out on the lot, very nice indeed even on the 18 inch rims..



Couple of other R's on the lot for sale that day too...
