Is everyone missing the point here?
Yes I'm sure it'll be a great car, yes I'm sure non enthusiast will love it. BUT, why do we love Hondas?
NSX
EK9
DC2
EP3
DC5
FD2
FN2
SIR
SIR2
VTI
Ect ect
ALL high reving N/A (and here's the important bit) Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control...
Is this not why we all fell in love with our Hondas and bought them in the first place?
ALL the other manufactures are doing Turbo cars so what is unique about this? Just another Turbo'd hatchback with a different badge.
Fuming!

Actually not really the reason I love honda's. Get quite bored of having to rev like **** and make so much noise all the time to get anywhere fast. Honda's main point for me was always build quality and useablility. Im rough on cars so I like one's that take it well.
Think you have missed the point and what might be the biggest selling point of the new Type R, Is it will do everything you need a Hot Hatch to do, It will do it all very well and most of all It should take any abuse you can want to throw at it, Thus being extremely usable as a Hot hatch. As the majority of decent hot hatches about these days are pants when it comes to build quality and reliability. All these VXR's, RS Megans , Focus RS's, as soon as you use them as they are made to be used they all spend more time in the dealers within the first few year while under warranty than on the roads.
New Turbo Civic Type R FTW.
P's love/hate how my mums Jazz is smaller than my EG6 but inside has 5x more usable space and 4 doors. Turbo Jazz Type R FTW!! haha
Am I right in thinking that it will come in 5 door/estate form? No 3-door variant now?
Looks great.
