Nobody knows?
The japs have got the Euro R in the new shape but as for a Type R in the UK, who knows. We'll have to make do with the Type S

No Type-R model planned. Shame as the new shape looks great.
Mind you, the 2.4 has 185bhp at 6800rpm and 163lb ft or torque at 4500rpm.
Although Honda UK claim that if customer demand is sufficient a hotter version could be created to fill the Type R's gap.

Thats a real shame as the old shape Type R was a massive seller and if there was a new one it would be near the top of my choices for new company car !!

No, not the US version of the Accord. That US version is a very dumpy car, the rear end styling is awful.
The JDM Euro R has an Integra R engine, giving 220ps from it's 2 litres.
