Civic Type R Concept promises driving thrills

The iconic and hugely popular Honda Civic Type R owed its success to an unbeatable combination of high performance and affordability that instantly captured the hearts and minds of driving enthusiasts. At the 76th Geneva Motor Show Honda will be presenting the world debut of the Civic Type R Concept, which forms the basis of its successor.

Based on the new Civic 3-door which will appear in Europe later this year, the Civic Type R Concept adopts the bold and emotional styling of the widely acclaimed 5-door hatchback. The power comes from Honda’s 200 PS 2.0-litre, DOHC i-VTEC unit, the same competition-proven, high-rev pedigree engine as used in the out-going model. That means it will be as exciting to look at as it will be to drive.

The production version, like its predecessor, will be built at Honda’s Swindon, UK, plant and is due to go on sale in early 2007.

I pay 320 a month, but thats irrelevant if you tell me what you plan on putting down I could calculate it for you based of off loan duration and estimated intrest.

I don't really agree with the styling, but it is made for the European market, and that is their kind of styling....

Bet it will be a blast to drive, though....

I think that looks like just another photo of the prototype 8th gen Civic hatch, not for sure a Type R though.

That's just the prototype for the original 8th gen Civic hatch. The ones that are already out in countries that have the hatch body style. Oh, and I believe the description you were looking for was "... an ice cube tray."

roughly every 10 grand you finance is going to be 200$ in payment (for a 48mo loan).
