Help bring the Honda Type R to America once again! Tired of everyone else in the world getting the cars that the US doesn’t? Are you as hyped as we are for the new Civic Type R? If so, you can do your part in bringing the Civic Type R stateside!
Help show Honda how to do whats right for Acura / Honda brand, and do whats right for the people that believe in the foundation Honda was built upon that live in America. Honda fans want and deserve the Honda Type R, so do your part to sign the petition.
After all, who wouldn’t want this turbocharged Civic Type R that was designed to take on the record for front-engine/front-drive cars at the Nürburgring circuit? We’ve touched on the Earth Dreams project before and the powerplants available for sale in Japan in the 2015 calender year.
But we aren’t talking about Japan, we want the Honda Civic Type R in the States!
A grassroots movement among Honda enthusiasts in the US have taken charge, setting up a Change.org petition found here.
