Crazy. I live literally less than 20 minutes away. I wonder where that Type R is heading?I got sent this picture from a friend of a friend.

apparently it was taken at Newark airport. While I don't believe it I wanted to see if anyone else has seen this picture before.
Hope so since that would mean more prototype spottings. Only one spotted so far was on the nurburgring.I would imagine(if the picture is legit) that they would be bringing it over to do ride comparison testing with the US model Type R on actual US roads to help them better calibrate the suspension tuning to us "softies"
No, the only confirmed sighting of the prototype was the one from the Nurburgring recently - http://www.civicx.com/threads/first-look-at-2017-civic-type-r-hatchback-prototype.350/So the new Type R prototype hasn't been seen anywhere in the US yet?
Looks like the car is here to serve its halo car duties. Would be convenient to keep it in the country to benchmark against when testing and developing the 2017/2018 Civic Type R prototypes.
