2016 Type-R what form - hatch, coupe, sedan?

[Rainbow Warrior]

So what form will we (US) get the Type-R in? The 10th gen Civic is gonna be hatchback, coupe, or sedan and I know the Type-R currently exists in hatchback form but might we get it as something else?

I know it's iconic as a hatch but I'd love to have a coupe model personally.

I think we'll at least see a 4 door sedan if not a coupe. I just hope they don't give the US the sedan and save the hatch for everywhere else. Americans and their crazy love for sedans over more functional and better looking hatchbacks...never understand it.

No way US gets a sedan or coupe Type R and not a hatchback. I think we'll get a Type R hatchback like the rest of the world and that's it. Would be surprised if Honda decided to make a Type R coupe or Type R sedan.

From what I've read, we'll get a coupe, sedan and hatchback.

The Si will come in sedan and coupe, and Type R will be hatchback only.

They really need to offer a Type R coupe too. Has it been confirmed we definitely won't see one? I know they dont currently build it but hey new markets call for different strategies.

Nothing is confirmed at the moment other than we will get a Type R sometime in the next few years. I definitely hope they are still considering a Type R coupe but I would bet it's just the hatch. There's probably not enough volume to build multiple Type R bodies.

I'd really be surprised if they made a Type R coupe. Would love to see it personally but the Type R has always been a hatch. Why would they start making other variants now?

Agreed. I'd be more hopefull if they moved production of the Type R to the USA but the fact that it will be imported in small numbers virtually guarantees it will be a hatch.

Would many ppl actually want it in anything other than the 5 door hatch? That's what the Type-R has become synonymous with. A Type-R Coupe or Sedan wouldn't even seem like the real thing to me.

The hatch is so much more functional too but it does add some weight. Depends on what you are using it for.

Oh ya? had no clue the hatch was heavier. By how much?

I hope there will be both a hatchback and coupe version of the Type R, so we put together this rendering of a Type R Coupe.

Well that certainly makes the coupe even more compelling. Type R too $ for my budget but I'd gladly take a standard or Si coupe.

The way I see it the 5 door hatch is the best of both worlds. It's got a sporty shape like the coupe but also has the sedan's functionality with 4 regular doors, plus a bonus hatchback. That's the one I'll be choosing when it finally comes to US

That's why I don't understand why they're not so popular here compared to coupes. The Europeans and Asians get it

We end up getting shafted and don't get all the hot hatches. That's changing with the Type R and Focus RS finally coming but it took a LONG time.
