We don’t have exact timing as to when the Type R will arrive, unfortunately, and any requests for that information were politely rebuked. That said, we believe it will arrive two years after the 2016 Civic sedan goes on sale this fall. This is because the Swindon, U.K., plant that assembles Civic five-doors—and which will be the source for our hatchback models—just started screwing together the midcycle facelift for the Euro Civic. Honda typically gives its cars a four-year life cycle, meaning the current hatchback has two years or so left in its run.
The Fall is only for the sedan. The coupe and hatchback are going to be early 2016 is what they are saying.The standard Civic will be released in the Fall. Not sure about the Type R, but hope sooner than later. That's the one I'm sure most of us are eyeing.
