Newswheel @ the Paris show: Hatchback hotness. VW’s Iroc Concept, Honda Civic Type-R, Renault Twingo

Crusty old form factors like C-segment saloons may be dying a slow, undignified death at the hands of MPV and crossover upstarts. But the hatchback is alive and kicking in 2006. VW, Honda, Renault and Volvo are all keeping the hot hatch real at the Paris show…

Honda Civic Type-R: first official images

Newswheel staff :: 14 September 2006 :: Filed under Hatchback, Honda, Honda Civic, Europe & UK

More refined but no quicker than the outgoing model. And available with dual-zone air con and cruise control. Not quite the road-racing repertoire you might expect from a new ricer-ready Type-R model from Honda (that’s enough r’s, Ed)…

Newswheel @ the British Motor Show: Honda Civic three-door

Newswheel staff :: 19 July 2006 :: Filed under Hatchback, Honda, Honda Civic, Europe & UK, Trade shows,

Few surprises, here. The mid-90s concept car aesthetic of the fivedoor Civic has survived the transition to a three-door form factor. The model’s defining exterior detail is probably the aggressively raked windscreen. But the unashamedly techno vibe of the wrap-around interior is our favourite feature. It’s the sort of cabin that makes you want to fire the engine up and give the car a vicious spanking. The Type-R is going to be an absolute riot…

Honda Civic three-door unveiled

Newswheel staff :: 29 June 2006 :: Filed under Hatchback, Honda, Honda Civic, Europe & UK

In keeping with the current tradition of robbing motor show debutants of any real surprise factor, Honda has lifted the lid on the new three-door Civic. Scheduled to be unveiled at the British International Motor Show next month, the new model gets a sportier chassis than its five-door sibling and goes on sale in January 2007. Meanwhile, Honda has also dished out preliminary tech specs for the Civic Type-R…

London launch for three-door Civic

Newswheel staff :: 13 June 2006 :: Filed under Hatchback, Honda, Honda Civic, Europe & UK

A litany of new car launches at a British motor show? Who’d a thunk it. Joining the list of London debutants is the new British-built three-door Civic. The new model, including the rev-tastic Type-R hot hatch, will be shown alongside the recently released five-door variant and the new Legend luxo barge. For now, Honda is keeping the standard three-door Civic under wraps. But since the Type-R concept displayed at the Geneva show earlier this year uses the three-door shell, there won’t be many surprises when the wraps come off next month…

Newswheel @ Geneva: Honda Civic Type-R concept

Newswheel staff :: 02 March 2006 :: Filed under Hatchback, Honda, Honda Civic, Europe & UK, Trade shows, US,

A show car in theory. But surely the real production deal won’t be all that different. Honda presented the Civic Type-R concept at Geneva on Tuesday. And there was much rejoicing.
