Agreed! Looks much better than the current model. I've always seen it as a direct rival to the Astra J OPC and the Megane RS 275. Would that be fair to say?

Civic Type R Limited Edition | The Finale - savagegeese
We review the 2021 Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition and say goodbye to the 10th generation. As the 2022 Civic Type R is being developed, we wanted to cover the pros and cons of this generation and discuss what this car means to car lovers and enthusiasts.
The Civic has always been the practical, safe choice and even in sporty car form it still delivers. Would you choose this over a Mazda3 Turbo, Veloster N, or VW Golf R?

Used car buying guide: Honda Civic Type R (FK2)
The 2015-17 Civic Type R could be the ideal hot hatch: thrilling when you want, easy-going in daily use, reliable and temptingly good valueWhen the FK2-generation Honda Civic Type Rburst onto the scene in 2015, it quickly set about proving itself to be one of the most capable hot hatches on the market, sporting a radical (if a bit controversial) new look, a whopping great rear wing and – crucially – a power hike.
There were two trim levels to choose from at launch, but both packed Honda’s fiery 2.0-litre VTEC Turbo engine, famed for its scintillating performance and engaging character. In this application, it produced 310bhp and helped to give the car a 0-62mph time of less than six seconds.

2022 Honda Civic Type R to retain bespoke aggressive look
Honda's hybrid hot hatch ramps up for a launch in 2022; latest shots confirm triple pipes and huge wing
The next-generation Honda Civic Type R has been caught testing again ahead of its expected 2022 debut, revealing new details of the final production design.
The Renault Mégane RS rival remains heavily camouflaged in these shots but it's clear to see that it doesn't appear radically different from its predecessor externally. The overall body shape, with its low, wide stance, saloon-style bootlid and big rear wing is familiar, while a more production-ready rear end bears distinctive triple-exit exhaust pipes and the red brake calipers provide another nod to its performance potential.
A close look reveals the spoiler features a new raised mounting, while the smaller lip spoiler on the bootlid no longer appears to dissect the rear window. Further visible changes include a lower shoulder line, a lower bonnet line and lower headlights, as previewed by the reveal of the standard Civic hatchback last month ahead of its European market launch in 2022.
A view of the interior shows what looks like different steering wheel and dashboard designs, alongside a dashtop-mounted touchscreen, although it's difficult to draw conclusions from this early prototype.
Autocar understands that the next Civic Type R will receive a hybrid powertrain as part of Honda’s electrification plans, which were accelerated last year with the aim of making all the brand's European sales electrified by 2025.
It's also suggested that it will use a powertrain linked in concept to that of the NSX supercar, which mates a twin-turbo 3.5-litre V6 with three electric motors. It's unclear whether that means four-wheel drive, but it's likely if Honda goes full-hybrid in this way.

Frontrunners: VW Golf GTI Clubsport 45 and BMW 128ti vs Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition
Volkswagen’s revitalised Golf GTI and the ‘purist’ BMW 128ti have never faced off – until now
Could I have one instead of the Honda? Actually, despite the Type R’s dreamy levels of feedback and involvement after the softer German pair, I suspect many people really would prefer the BMW, were the choice between the comparatively lavish 128ti and this radio-less, AC-less Limited Edition. Not even the precision in the Honda’s chassis, or its fabulous gearshift, or the eagerness of its 7000rpm engine would make up for the inconveniences. However, opt for any ‘lesser’ Civic Type R and you’re getting 95% of the Limited Edition’s ability with 20% better comfort and isolation, and then it’s set and match.
Today, BMW 128ti beats VW GTI Clubsport and fulfils its brief, but it can’t slay the giant. The Honda isn’t perfect; more easy-going adjustability and extra sharpness in the throttle and steering responses would be nice. But it’s a monument in this class. That it can make two objectively fine rivals feels ordinary, at any speed and on any road, is just remarkable.

Honda Civic Type R Sport Line review: the wingless, ‘subtle’ super-hatch
Still ugly, still fab to drive, still the hot hatch to have, then?
Just one problem here: Honda’s just shut the factory.
The Swindon plant, which made all Type Rs for the EU, has recently closed its doors. Honda blamed the shutdown on Brexit. Anyway, with the supply tap turned off, second-hand values are apparently rocketing up faster than 2020 loo roll prices, and while the Civic Type R remains available to order on Honda’s UK website, getting hold of one might not be as easy as it was even last year.
Course, we’re talking first-world problems here. People have lost their jobs. A community has been uprooted. And in the midst of all that upheaval, one of the world’s greatest cars is now a hot commodity.
Plus, the next-gen Civic has already been revealed, and a Type R is in the pipeline, so this car is about to become history regardless.
But. If you can muster the £35,400 to buy one of these (£985 more than base spec, but £1,150 more than a range-topping GT with the big wing), and you can stomach the horrific amateur-hour dashboard and infotainment, you will not be disappointed with the mind-blowingly capable, enthrallingly exciting experience. Whenever this Type R’s time comes, Mr Ugly here is going out at the top.
