'Murica Rejoice: Honda Civic Type R Mule Spotted In California
Don’t worry, that news about the next Honda Civic Type R at last being sold on ‘Murican shores wasn’t just an exceptionally good dream. Want a little proof? Here’s a test mule appropriately splashed in Championship White, spotted near Honda’s facility in Southern California.
We had a poke around the interior of the prototype at the LA Auto Show last week, where we found an electronic handbrake (expected to be on North American models but not European versions), and a drive switch with three selectable modes.
The production car - which won’t change a great deal from the prototype - will be revealed next year.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

I hope it sounds as mean as the last one
How odd for them NOT to cover it up in Gaffer Tape! What is this world coming to!
I dont even know
A vehicle is covered in Gaffer tape when the manufacture try to make sure that nobody knows what it will look like. The prototype of the current gen Type-R is already officially reveled a while back on a car show, there is no point of covering up the vehicle anymore for mechanical testing.
Now Americans can VTEC!!
Correct me if I’m wrong, we didn’t get the last TWO type R civics here in the states.
We got the civic si’s not the type-r
This should come standard with the sound system.
This should be the only track in the Sound System.

I thought ‘muricans didn’t bother about anything less than a v8
Yeah, it’s weird that the V10 Lamborghini Gallardo is one of the most popular Supercars in the states
I’m a Murican, and a lot of cars I love don’t have V8s!
In the near future, we all know this will be riced.
Don’t think so…its rsre to see real Type R modified in that way..manly because it costs double the price of a normal Civic.
But 4 doors
for more whores
Why is that bad? The FD2 was also a 4 door and it’s one of the best Type R’s out there, basically being an improved DC5.
OMGOMGOMGOMGH
