Damn, finally the news I've been waiting for all these years. Hope the Type R is priced under $35k.

this is nice.

Maybe Honda doesn't hate us. Just Acura

oonowindoo

i have a feeling this is 4/1 joke.

RPhilMan1

I have a feeling this is Honda being overly optimistic.

Production won't be anywhere near that.

kurtatx

I'm more or less convinced Honda North America didn't know what to do with Acura, and now Acura management doesn't know what to do with Acura.

so, Honda does hate us

What happened to the rear end? Front looks alright.

It's that kind of thrill so catch it if you can. TM

So this means we'll get the next gen Type-R and not the one that was just premiered, correct?

Hmm perhaps...but in the past, their production vehicles are pretty close to concept models in terms of proportion and major details. The only things that are changed would be big @$$ wheels, aero kit, and may be the LED lights? This is at least true for the 8th and 9th gen Civic?













I think the Type R that we are getting will be based on this new platform. The Type R that was premiered is using the existing platform. My understanding is that this new platform will be shared by the Civic, Accord, and other Acura models, and can take SH-AWD.

Ken1997TL

The 'current' Type R is based on the European Civic which is a different car.

The Type R we get is based upon this new, US-designed Civic which will be the ONLY Civic worldwide. No more regional platforms for Accord and Civic.

Notice the new NSX style exhaust. Lots of design elements of the NSX there. Wonder if Michelle had anything to do with that too...

TacoBello

They should fire her...

fsttyms1

They need to start much higher up with the firing There are TOO many decision makers over the years that have lead them to where they are today that need to go. They need fresh ideas and people there.

TacoBello

and people who know how to design.

neuronbob

I like that Civic design. But then again, I like the RLX design too, so I'm just weird that way.

Slight bad news for anyone actually interested in the Type R:

well, to be fair coco, I dont think any one thought it was coming out as a 2016 model.

oonowindoo

most of us are even shocked that it is coming at all.

Though, i am still not convinced that the US version is a real type R, That is if we are even getting any Type R.

AZuser

Gives them plenty of time to change their minds and not offer it in the U.S.

Also gives the competition time to up their ante.

TacoBello

I'm not surprised it's not coming immediately after the new body Civic is released. It's no different than what they did with the original Integra Type R, or the 2G and 3G TL-S, amongst others.

also, imported from the UK.

TacoBello

They wouldn't call it a Type R then

fsttyms1

Again, following and not leading.

coco

Didn't see this posted yet. 2016 Civic coupe production mule somewhere in the desert.

Think I read that all the hatchbacks will be coming from the UK.

oonowindoo

so is that a hatch like Integra or is that a regular coupe. Can't tell.

TacoBello

I'm hoping it's like the integra, but part of me is thinking it will be like an accord. Looks like an accord.

Tonyware

I was thinking about the same, that it looks like an Accord... but something also reminds me of a 2-door Hyundai Genesis at the rear window profile. Maybe the curve over the rear wheel.

oonowindoo

you meant the Tiburon?

Hope they make it like a hatch!

coco

HOLY SMOKES! Would sell my and my wife's kidneys for that.

oonowindoo

Dont have to go that extreme. Just move to UK.

coco

They don't have a Type R Coupe even in the UK. Hope they make one for this upcoming generation, just like that.
