Ive just found this and thought that i would post it for you all 
CIVIC TYPE S Wednesday 16th October
5 Door Pretender for Type R Wannabees
The Civic Type-R is to get a limp wristed baby brother from next year named the Civic Type-S. It is aimed at those wanting hard driving thrills, but in a more sophisticated and comfortable 5 door body style. Visually, the new car is set apart by custom designed 15 in alloy wheels, Type-R-look mesh grille and headlights, rear hatch spoiler and discrete side rubbing strips. Front fog lights (nooo!), mudflaps and "Type-S" tailgate logo complete the package. The Type-S Civic will be specific to the UK market, with unique mechanical specification rather than simply being a "badged" version of an existing Civic. It will be the first Civic 5 door to feature the 2.0 litre 160 PS i-VTEC engine, similar to that powering the CR-V but tuned specifically for the Type-S, and exclusively partnered by a 5-speed manual gearbox. Sales of the Type-S begin on 1 January 2003 – and the new model will be priced at £14,995.
