Honda Type R Coming to America, Maybe?

Alx · 02-28-2007, 05:02 PM

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

While I still prefer to have the hatchback in North America, I'd take this.

I certainly agree, that car is really something else.

I think, USDM models will be called/known as "Si" (trim) not as "Type-R"

...!
