No more Type-R in Europe

Might fit a turbot and see if that works

For the lolz:

Ahhhh, distant memories of the lulz

I love my hideously wasteful car. I'll continue to buy older cars until the green folks die off, and we stop having comedy emissions laws.

Yep! Think it's time we all went out and bought classic American muscle cars with a minimum of a 5000cc engine.

Shame the last model (FN2) ended up being worse than the one that came before it (EP3).

(EK9 owners will probably say they got progressively worse )

That's what I thought, did anyone buy the latest model? Didn't it use the same engine as the previous one, whilst weighing more?

The tree buggers must want us to ride horses or drive electric cars that get power from Gas and Coal power stations?

This is also killing Aston Martin, shame as they'll be a legend in about 10 years

Let's hope the Type R returns better than ever, and keeps the "tree-people" happy

Not true, the Civic FD2 Type-R is certainly worthy of the badge The NSX Type-R was still in production after the DC2 finished too

I think its down to Honda who decides what gets a Type-R badge, I really dont think they give a monkeys about their ten year old rot boxes

VTEC just kicked...the dirt y0?

 

[L0rdMike]

Meh who needs Type Rs anyway.

That or the Ek9 were the iconic ones, but its a shame they won't carry on.

Wow i'm really getting frustrated, could be too much caffiene or it could be the people that continue over an over on the Type-R branding

First off, no one knows if there will or will not be another Type-R because they have only killed off the current models, seeing as though the engine doesnt meet EU requirements and the Civic is nearing the end of its five year cycle that makes pretty good sense to me

Second, Type-R is just stickers and badges, marketing, it doesnt mean anything and doesnt spell the future of anything, I hope they do kill it off and they start making some decent performance petrol hybrids without the fanboy Type-R branding so that it keeps the chavvy boy racer image away that its grown into over recent years

New model is released end of next year, as you say nothing has been killed of. Honda simply do not deem it worthy of making the modification, when the model is being scrapped and replaced in around 12months time.
