The UK-built hatchback packs 201 horsepower, love-it-or-leave-it styling and a suspension that has been honed on the lunging tarmac of Europe. No, it may not be as fast as its predecessors, but that hasn&#8217;t stopped Japanese buyers from snapping them up in troves. Honda says that since the car went on sale in November, the company has sold 1,850 units on its home turf.<\/p>\n<p>To celebrate, Honda is turning out a special edition version of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/02\/15\/honda-uk-releases-civic-type-r-mugen-200-to-celebrate-return-to\/\">Civic Type R Euro<\/a> three-door. Don&#8217;t expect anything too radical, though. The car is basically a styling update and not much else. The bodywork gets a slight redesign for the 2010 model year. If Honda&#8217;s planning anything spectacular, the company is keeping its secrets to itself. <\/p>\n<p>For those of you still holding onto the hope that we may finally see a hatchback version of the Civic here in the States once again, keep dreaming.
