They may have reviewed the Euro R hatchback in your pic (kinda looks that way). But probably not the sedan from Japan

at least not yet... they usually review all the sick cars comin out, and the new CTR is pretty sick... so they might do it. But usually they review cars that are a little more "high profile" i.e. carrera gt, evo9 mr, sti, ariel atom, etc...

They usually cover direct comparisons for Type R's of past...like hatchbackshootouts or saloons etc

Given their fanbase, i'm sure a CTR review is already shot or will be this year.

Especially since Buton is/was the Stig.

I'm pretty sure that photo was taken for a feature Top Gear had on their website, where the Stig selected ~25 or so of his top hot hatch/pocket rocket buys. The Type R definitely made it into the Top 5, but I don't think it won.
