Days ago, this camouflaged prototype was seen in Ohio.

The test mule has a rear wing and backlights that looks so next to the ones firstly seen at Civic Type-R concepts unveiled last year in Europe.

The new Civic's range will be unveiled next Spring, probably in the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

Last week, Honda oficially confirmed at NAIAS the production of the new Earth Dreams 2.0-liter VTEC Turbo engine in Anna plant, Ohio.

And, knowing Honda come production time, that engine will live in the new Honda Pilot. American Type-Rs will get a hybrid making less power than the Civic Si, and less fuel efficient than the Civic Hx.
