Emissions regs to kill Honda Civic Type-R in most of Europe at end of 2010
Filed under: Performance, Europe, Hatchback, Honda
Honda Europe has announced that sales of the Civic Type-R throughout most of the Continent will cease by the end of 2010. The 2.0-liter, 198-horsepower hatch debuted as a production model in late 2006, and in its current form the engine doesn’t meet the new Euro-V emissions standards which apply throughout the European Union.

If you’re in the market for that rapidly vanishing species known as the hot Honda, you’ll have to move fast.
