Yeah I'm not making any decisions until the car is out.
I fully expect the type r to be immense just as all other performance Hondas are. I just expected more in terms of styling, although I think it looks stunning in black.
Some more HD pics

Think it's something to do with emissions and fuel economy.No more wrinkle finish rocker covers? I'm out
I wonder what the "Earth Dreams" label is all about?

it was a decision that was made a long time ago and at the height of recession and what effectively killed off continuing with sporting heritage of the brand and making sports orientated cars. pretty poor one at that.
it prompted the production of greener projects such as hybrid hence the cr-z but we saw how that one went with huk thinking.
hopefully the nsx project will breathe some life into the programme in the promise of what its trying to deliver

Is this model going to be released in Japan or are they getting a better version? I wonder

An extra £2,300 for the GT model, which comes with
"GT drivers will benefit from forward collision warning, traffic sign recognition system, lane departure warning, blind spot information including cross traffic monitor, dual control climate control, rain sensing auto wipers, dusk sensing auto lights, front and rear parking sensors, interior red ambient lighting, high beam support and Honda’s new infotainment system, CONNECT, with GARMIN navigation system"
Definitely seems worth the extra £2300
Apparently they will be getting the same model. Wouldnt be surprised if the got the concept, or something a bit closer to it.

This is a European only version. Won't be released in Japan.
Was out for dinner last night with a few of the marketing/PR people. They wouldn't say if there was another model being released over there.

So have you ordered/put a deposit on one or not then? Or did you get your deposit back? I'm confused?

Nope I have no deposit down. Most of the posts on that thread on civinfo from that account are from a fella who I work night shifts with. He has actually got a deposit down and uses my phone on night shifts to post and instead of logging me out of all my tapatalk forums he just uses my account. He says he is going to Honda tomorrow to see about getting the deposit back. I dont think he should at the minute because the Honda is actually looking good the more I see/read about it.So have you ordered/put a deposit on one or not then? Or did you get your deposit back? I'm confused?

To avoid more confusion I will just tell him to log into his own account
I dont think I could throw down £3000 blind without even seeing the car! But he is flush with cash, only just bought a cw fn2 for around £10k

FK2 was a 5 door 1.8 petrol.

Edit: Can't find the 2015 model code myself but it sounds like it maybe FBx or FGx where x is a number.
Edit2: Ignore me, FB and FG are codes for the Civic saloon and Civic coupe in the US markets.

please read the link it says the new Gen of civic type R will be FK2

Limited numbers available initially. They'll not struggle to shift them either.
Plenty of chat about it online. Like it or hate it, it's good to see them release a new 'R' model. The stand was busy the whole day on Tuesday. Will be taking one for a test drive when they arrive in dealers here to see what all the fuss is about.

Haha, thought you'd not like the new engine cover.
I did, at the time of posting. That section of the wiki was edited last night at 23:03. Based on the references used in the '4th Generation' header (24-27), none of them make reference to a model code 'FK'. As I posted before FKs are 5 door mk8 civics.
