Honda Announces the End of Civic Type R Sales in Europe

2010 European Civic Type-R Honda announced that the Civic Type R will no longer be sold in many areas of Europe from the end of 2010. The 8000 rpm, 198 HP 3-door made its debut in concept form at the Geneva motor show in 2006. The combination of sharp edges and aggressive styling was quite unexpected after its more conservatively styled predecessor. The production version was unveiled at the Paris 2006 Motor Show, with a look that was almost identical to that of the concept shown earlier in the year.
