Everyone’s favorite practical sedan just got a little less cautious and a lot more fun. The Civic Type R is confirmed to make its debut in America, most likely with a release date in 2017 as a 2018 model. This car joins a (short) list of Honda’s forays into high-performance vehicles.
The Type R has been cruising streets of Europe since early 2015, causing a healthy buzz among American car dealers and enthusiasts itching to get behind the wheel of Honda’s take on a racing car. Now that the vehicle is sure to hit the states in the reasonably near future, we had to ask …
