Your whole life is a lie: The Honda Civic Type R from “The Other Side” never existed Remember when we showed you that brilliant promotional video for the Honda Civic Type R, “The Other Side”? The one that showed a middle-aged dad driving his kids home from school in a Honda Civic, but when you…

2017 Honda Civic Type R sets new lap record at the Nürburgring Two months… just two more months to go until people in the United States can finally buy an honest-to-god Honda Civic Type R.

Honda is already working on a refreshed version of the Civic Type R — you know, the hot hatchback that was launched in the United States not two years ago? — and it’s already been spotted doing hot laps around the Nürburgring, because when your main appeal is being the fastest hatchback around, well, hitting…

We’ve said it once, and we’ll say it again: if Honda ever decides it wants out of the automotive industry rat race, the company should consider trying its hand at filmmaking.

Honda’s new CEO, Takahiro Hachigo, is spearheading an ambitious effort to make English the official language of the automaker’s interregional communications.

The Honda Civic Type R is inarguably one of the hottest hot hatches you can buy today, but even those who love the way it sings and dances don’t always quite like the way it’s dressed. If you’re among the people who feel put off by its extreme boy racer looks, you may like the…
