Honda really out did themselves. A riced Civic from the factory.

[Muskokan]

Looks like a constipated and angry fiesta.

While I'm a RWD fan

I have always had respect for the Civic

NOW IF ONLY THEY'D OFFER IT IN THE US!

Honda’s latest Civic Type R is nearing the end of its gestation, and at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show in early March we’ll get our first definitive look at the completed car in the form of a thinly veiled concept version. Today, Honda released a teaser sketch showing the concept and confirmed that the production version will go on sale overseas in early 2015.
Interestingly, the design in this sketch shows some new elements not seen on the regular Civic nor the prototype versions of the Civic Type R we’ve been spying for the past year. The rear spoiler has a very futuristic design and appears to integrate the tail-lights. There are also new vents in the rear fenders. Overall the design looks very cool and we hope it’s transferred to the production version untouched.

Unfortunately, the latest Civic Type R, like its predecessor, won’t be offered in the U.S. as it is based on the Civic platform designed for the rest of the world. We recently drove a prototype, complete with Honda’s new direct-injected and turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, and found it to be absolutely brilliant.

The engine, which in final spec could reach as high as 300 horsepower, will be paired with a six-speed manual transmission and spin the front wheels. The goal of engineers was to make it the fastest front-wheel-drive production car to ever lap the Nürburgring, a benchmark that currently stands at 8:07.97, as set by the Renault Megane RS Trophy in 2011. With any luck, we'll see some of the car's hardware appear in the next-generation CR-Z.

That actually doesn't look that bad

If they mated that turbo 4 cyl to their SH-AWD they might be able to steal away some of those WRX/STi owners who are still angry about the loss of the hatch.

I like the looks of it as well. Never understand why they won't bring it here. USDM emissions, crash testing, blah blah blah. These cars would sell well in the US and they could over come crash testing and emissions restrictions.

Would trade FRS for that.

I definitely would not. Although it is a pretty package.

And you won't even have to be bothered with disregarding any decision to do so. Why? Because Honda hates North America.

Great Looking car... hope it shows up in the USA... if you know Honda stop hating us. lol

I have never understood why people put quad-tip exhausts on 4 cylinder engines. It's unnecessary and silly. Dual tip, maybe, but quad? Really?

(That having been said, I agree with the above statement that they should add the SH-AWD system to this car. That would be a great WRX/STi competitor)
