Honda hot hatch fans could be left waiting two years for the new Civic Type R.
Fans of the Honda Civic Type R hot hatch will be left waiting up to two years for the return of their favourite pocket rocket.
The Japanese company has put the turbocharged Civic Type R on the backburner while it gives priority to getting the Honda NSX supercar into showrooms.
Honda has put the turbocharged Civic Type R on the backburner.
It means the new generation Civic Type R is still up to two years away from local roads, even though Honda teased fans with a concept car at the Geneva motor show almost a year ago.
Even though Honda has unveiled a Civic Type R concept car and talked about its new turbocharged engine, there are still no firm on-sale dates, says Honda Australia director Stephen Collins.
This is despite the fact the new Civic Type R goes into production in July this year for the UK market. Could Australian Honda fans really be forced to wait two years?
“I think we will get it (Honda Civic Type R)," he said. "It has a rich heritage in Australia. But it's not yet confirmed. It won't arrive before the NSX and that means it could be as late as 2017 (before it arrives in local showrooms).”
