While in the U.S. the hottest Honda Civic on offer is the lame-duck Civic Si, over in Europe they have the Civic Type R, a high-revving hot hatch with race-inspired looks, taut suspension and impeccable handling. With the release of a brand new Civic in Europe and other markets in recent years...

We recently brought you news that a new turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine being developed for the not-for-U.S. Civic Type R would eventually be offered in our own Civic, finally giving the car the performance kick it needs to fend off rivals. Going some way towards substantiating the...

The last bona-fide Type R model sold by Honda in the U.S. was the sprightly Integra Type R, sold under the Acura brand in the late 1990s. Many Type Rs have come and gone since then, but none of them have been sold in the U.S. With details of Honda's latest Civic Type R emerging, some U.S. Honda...

Honda has introduced a range of updates for its 2014 Civic and Civic Coupe models to help address a number of quality concerns following the introduction of the redesigned models in 2013.
