With the new Civic Type R, Honda says goodbye to the wild styling of its predecessor, largely eliminating the fake air vents and ultra-aggressive design. This is both good news and bad news, as some will appreciate the significantly more subdued appearance, while others would prefer to see the aggressive form of the FK8 model badge preserved and developed into something new. Relatively extravagant and wild. Even when equipped with the sporty Honda Access upgrades, the facelifted Honda Civic Type R still looks relatively tame compared to its wild predecessor.
