Fortunately we are getting the new Civic Type R in the US. Unfortunately, it's a little too over-the-top looking for my tastes. I like the somewhat more subdued look of the two posted in this thread!

All in the name of marketing, I think - I feel like the Type R's more relaxed appearances before was down to them being pure mechanical machines without a major emphasis on branding, while Honda's trying to retake its 90s reputation nowdays, so is trying to cash in on the idea that the people who bought and ruined EP3 breadvans with coilovers and chromespray wheels might have more money rolling around ten years later.

It's a good thing, though, that the new Type R does keep up its trend of being way, way, way better than all of its competition and yet having the press denounce it because it's not European and doesn't come with butt massagers. In a race car.

I would love a white Type R with white wheels :whatup: a super cut-down spoiler or no spoiler at all, and removal of all the retarded looking external aero. Sure, it might be a little slower, but I really don't need to be at 10/10ths on my way to the Super 88 Market.

Just Googled it. Yeesh, way over the top and frankly disappointing.

It will certainly have the performance credentials, though.
