  | Honda Type R Coming to America, Maybe?  Hot Honda alert. Winding Road's European editor, Matt Davis was present at a press event recently, when a Honda Japan engineer dropped a choice nugget. Apparently, Honda's launching a Type R model for the US market. As Honda frizzeaks know, Europeans have the UK-built Type R hatch and Japanese have the Type R sedan. We're most likely to get the sedan, considering the Euro hatch has no counterpart in the US. The US Type R would get a horsepower boost over the JDM's 220 hp and limited-slip diff, along with similar suspension and appearance mods. The low-end horsepower war the car is sure to foment will commence around 2010. – Mike Spinelli galleryPost('civictyper', 4, 'Civic Type R (Japan)'); - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

| Re: Honda Type R Coming to America, Maybe? While I still prefer to have the hatchback in North America, I'd take this.  |

| Re: Honda Type R Coming to America, Maybe? I certainly agree, that car is really something else. |

| Re: Honda Type R Coming to America, Maybe? I think, USDM models will be called/known as "Si" (trim) not as "Type-R"  ...! |
