Honda has announced that it will sell a limited run of the 2010 Type R Euro in Japan this fall. The Euro version is built in the U.K. and was, until last <\/em>fall, only sold to European buyers. Japanese customers had to make do with a four-door sedan until their clamoring convinced Honda to send about 2000 copies of the hatch<\/a> to Honda\u2019s homeland. Honda says 90 percent of the imported vehicles have been sold since November, which is why they\u2019re sending more for the 2010 model year.<\/p>\n

The Type R employs a 2.0-liter inline-four that wails up to 8400 rpm and makes 221 hp at 8000 rpm and 159 lb-ft of torque at 6100 rpm. The car comes only with a six-speed manual transmission and wears stiffer springs and anti-roll bars than more pedestrian Civics. When we drove one<\/a> back in 2007, we thought the Type R did a pretty good S2000 impression. Y’know, for tin-topped econobox.<\/p>\n

Once again, we\u2019re disappointed we get nothing like this in America, where such a car would slot nicely above the Civic Si. You offer the Type R in Europe, Japan, Australia, and South Africa\u2014so how about you create one for us, Honda? After all, with the death of the S2000, there’s a vacancy in the sporty halo department.<\/p>\n
