In case you hadn't noticed, 2015 will be a huge year for Honda. It's back
in F1
NSX
has just been shown to the world and in a few weeks the next
Civic Type R
will be seen in production spec. After years in the doldrums, Honda is firmly back on the enthusiast radar.
Well this is different to the concept...
So you will perhaps understand a slight sense of disappointment about these latest Civic Type R spy images. Of course the disguise is exactly intended to throw off the exact proportions but from side-on in particular it looks considerably more tame than the concept. The rear lights are even back on the boot. Still, at least the four big exhausts and the wing have made it.
We remain optimistic about the Type R though; it has to be pretty special after this long, doesn't it? Expect full details to follow leading up to Geneva.
