Sorry mod pls delete/move/merge if this is a re-post. My friend went to one of the local shopping mall in Sydney and took a few pix for me. Don't think they have the MSRP on this hatchback yet though.

 

theres lots of discussion about this in the civic forum. I doubt they will bring it over to the US, europe they made it for homologation, (or whatever they call it so they can use it to compete in various races)

It would definately be cool though. I'd so pick one up !

EDIT I stand corrected! Well, atleast from e-mag headlines

At a recent press drive for the Euro-market Civic Type R, Honda has announced that a variant of the hot hatch is coming in USA in 2010. They plan to offer a package in keeping with the Japanese-market Type R (read: four-door sedan), and include a horsepower boost and a limited-slip differential.

The prototype Type R (Japan) is powered by a 2.0-liter iVTEC engine with an output of 220 hp. But for the US market it is very posible to import the Euro-market Type R’s angular hatchback.</TD></TR></TABLE>


angular hatchback gets my vote

 

Effing sweet

i saw a 4 dr with a crazy wing that look pretty good, im tryin to find the video that i saw a few months ago

 

They make this Civic body in Europe already (not a Type R but looks the same). I saw it last Summer and it actually looks pretty good in person

 

Here is the video to the Proto Type one In Japan.....

If the 4 door comes here, its mine! That car is badass!

 

Looks like a mini-van from the back. Not very sporty

Egg with ground effects

 

Hideous. I had a hard enough time trying to like the current Civic Si's.

 

I would gladly drive the Spoon prepped 4dr CTR.

Any of you that have had a chance to drive the 4dr Si already know what an excellent platform this is.

Ugly bubble. I'm glad we got the DC2R. Only other R that would have been nice to get is the NSXR

Yeah, the sedan looks a lot better than the hatch. 2010 though? Dayamn...

 

I'll say it. I actually like the hatch (well 90% of it). To me the only thing I don't like is the back. Their is just too much going on there.

top gear did a review of the new ctr & 19 of its european rivals
(clio 197/golf GTi/focus ST/renault meganne F1, etc) while it was the reviewers top choice it proved to be slower around the track than some of its more promineant rivals
spec:
engine 1998cc K20
power 198@7800
torque 142@5600
Kerb weight 1267kg
power/weight 156
0-62mph 6.6
top speed 146mph

it could do with a few more pony's imho, it certainly wont inspire me to gett rid of my itr

 

with mods - I'm sure it will have impressive performance

those K series motors can be N/A beasts with cams i/h/e and ecu

Sorry Honda, something went awfully wrong in 2002.....and still continues

The only nice car they have now is S-2000...

Shame on you Honda....
