'Murica Rejoice: Honda Civic Type R Mule Spotted In California
Don’t worry, that news about the next Honda Civic Type R at last being sold on ‘Murican shores wasn’t just an exceptionally good dream. Want a little proof? Here’s a test mule appropriately splashed in Championship White, spotted near Honda’s facility in Southern California.
We had a poke around the interior of the prototype at the LA Auto Show last week, where we found an electronic handbrake (expected to be on North American models but not European versions), and a drive switch with three selectable modes.
The production car - which won’t change a great deal from the prototype - will be revealed next year.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

I hope it sounds as mean as the last one
How odd for them NOT to cover it up in Gaffer Tape! What is this world coming to!
Now Americans can VTEC!!
Correct me if I’m wrong, we didn’t get the last TWO type R civics here in the states.
This should come standard with the sound system.
I hope it has vtak to kick in yo
