As I previously blogged, Honda unveiled the Honda Civic Type R Concept at the Geneva Motor Show. This will give a glimpse of what the final Civic Type R will look like. This concept is powered by the same K20A i-VTEC engine used in the current Honda Civic Type R.
The Honda Civic Type R will be a 3-door hatchback based on the celebrated 2006 Honda Civic Euro which is a 5-door hatch. It will be built at Honda’s Swindon plant in the UK, and will be on sale from early 2007 onwards. No SH-AWD for this little pocket rocket.

Hmm… ok-ok lah, but i dont like the butt's design… hey, just my personal opinion though… that's all.
Coolness, like the tail, too bad we won't have this running on Malaysian roads.
looks ugly seriously , looks like some brother's body kit…dont like it at all…dont mind having one though!
vry ah beng style…….but i beliee it is vry powerful on the inside. cn they let me test drive it?
hehe
damn~ lovee the very aerodynamic design.. kinda looks derived from an airplane wing.. huhu~
it rythmns with "Masculine little mice"… dunno why…. just me thou.
a head turner. ugly butt or not, i like it.
Frankly speaking…Honda is a very good model. The have achieved beyond their limits and yet they still strive harder. Thumbs up to them. Sometimes they lack interm of space & design. I mean their civic is fantastic but the interior space so little. Of cause the dashboard is marvelous. Not even Altis or Sentra could come close for the nest coming years.
I mean Honda must have some eye appealing design & space like the Accord (not bad), Oddysey (excellent), S200 (wow !)…the big brother NSX (the best looking anytime)…..
But I'm talking about their new Civic Type R…..little bit funny to accept the design of the future. I must admit that it is indeed a powerful car. Maybe they can adjust the rear a bit ? Hell they might not do it because it will be available in the coming months i guess.
So designers out there, you know what to do ! Thumbs up for Honda…..
Not even the Sentra & Altis (2 boring cars) can even come close to the civic…doesn't matter if it's the old or new civic.
But i still prefer the Gen 2 R3. I think it would be affordable for the money. I know it is not the best. But it has that eye catching looks, with new bodykits, rims, power, interior seats, handling, most important it's engineered for thrill.
prolly naza will import it.. well at least hopefully
why the heck did honda malaysia brought in the other version of honda civic instead of this one? sigh.
URRGGHHH…remind me of nd4spd…underground… where dis car belong…
if i can remember properly, there was an article saying the new Type-R will come in turbocharged form.
I think most probably will be 7-9psi boost on the stock internals. Unless Honda wanna go head on with WRX or EVO at 280bhp stock engines.
the concept is like old CRX whit dabble layer at the back eye vision.
looks like the car was designed in the spirit of comic book Japanese-ultraman style.
anyone notice that the bonnet has the ridge that leads to the nose, mimicking an F1 car's nose? maybe getting some links to it's F1 herritage…
but i do agree the bodykit wasn't well-designed…
wow! ugly nya!! another gaban car from honda.
Bad =Too tall, too fat. Rear very ugly.. Good = Lamp design, sport rim. Overall = Not nice.
Hehe…cool design ! No comments and certainly just dream about it for we Malaysia Boleh!!
Beng ah…Beng….how many time i told you not to waste your money modifying your car….sigh sigh…double sigh…
dam kau cun… one of a kind rear…
Look quite shiok. I wonder if they bring to Spore
What the Honda think…. It is diffrence from the older R
the rear is look abit like caldina
