Type R Teaser

[webby]

Wasn't sure where to post this. Type R is not coming

Why do you say that from the fact they're having a press conference, and the other article talks about a hatchback civic? I'm not saying we will get the r, but can you really say it's not happening when Honda hasn't commented?

No, I can't confirm.
I did get an email from Nikos Stoufis who has that petition going for the Type R to come to North America (over 25 000 people have signed it btw). I went to check my deleted e-mails and found the last one he sent. I remember it had a very pessimistic vibe to it about the Type R coming. When I clicked on the link to reread it the page had been deleted. Did it get deleted because it was pessimistic and people were replying to him and saying don't give up the fight? Or is there a new development?

I don't have any news. I'm not sure what his message was.

Ya, I was asking that as a rhetorical question. Haha

25K people signed the petition, but how many would buy the CTR? Anyone can sign it.

 

[Pauly99to17]

I signed it, but don't have budget to buy it. Maybe a used and abused one in a few years.

Well, things are looking up. Positive rumours starting now.

Who is in charge of that CivicX forum? That white layout when browsing forum gives me seizure

[Nomar06]

I do not mind that rear spoiler at all......kinda dig it.

Nice, saw this all over the car blogs today too. Thought it's a bit overstyled but it's a concept so that's expected.
Here's the original uncropped high res versions.
