Honda announced yesterday the end of the Civic Type R sales in many areas of Europe starting at the end of this year.
The decision to stop sales has been taken because the car does not currently meet the Euro 5 emission regulations. The introduction of Euro 5 means the Type R can only be sold up until the end of 2010 in markets where those rules apply.
The exclusively UK-manufactured car will continue to be sold in markets where regulations allow it, and it will remain in production at the Swindon manufacturing plant.
The Civic Type R was unveiled at the Paris 2006 Motor Show. The combination of sharp edges and aggressive styling made the success of the 8000 rpm, 3-doors car.
