Geneva 2015: New Honda Civic Type R Drifts Through Video Before Debut
Though set to appear next month in Geneva, the Honda Civic Type R drifted through a video showing a few of the automaker’s latest and greatest.
Per Autoblog, the video, titled “Keep Up,” shows the hot hatch drifting across the screen for one second in the 55-second video, which also showed Honda’s HondaJet, Jazz and ASIMO products, all with words of encouragement rapidly flashing over the desert environment.
Power for the Type R is a 2-liter VTEC turbo-four pushing 280 to 300 horsepower to the front wheels, and was recently teased to have round foglamps, as opposed to the video’s bladed LEDs.

I never thought I would see the day were torque and a stock Honda Civic existed together. Finally one that I would be interested in. That is if it is Coming to America.
A ILX-R would do a lot to renew the internet fanboys faith in Acura. It would have to perform well against Audi's S3, Focus ST etc because I see all the hot rod reviewers doing comparisons tests. But I just don't think Acura is willing to chase that market if they ever did.
Civ R will be cheaper than Focus or Golf cause it's front drive. It'll take sales. Honda's on to something with online pricing.
