If the date was April 1st this would be classified as a good Aprils fool joke without a second thought.

Since it’s not April 1st let me just say the darn thing is seriously ugly. For every model they produced they ruined an otherwise fine Civic Type R in my books.

To make this, Honda used a pre-production CTR - which would be crushed otherwise.

 

[Beeblebrox237]

Honestly, it looks no less ridiculous than the normal CTR.

 

[VBR]

Rednecks & peckerwoods everywhere are drooling!

 

[Norman Self]

So when can we expect to see this in GTSport?

 

[C-ZETA]

It looks better than the standard CTR. But then so does quite literally everything else in the world.

When you need a work truck but JDM rice is life.

Somewhere between 2019 and never.

Somewhere between 2019 and never.

I'll take the 42nd of Never.

If they took it a little more serious, they could make a legit light truck out of it.

It would look way better without the spoiler, but they seemed intent on keeping it.

 

[TVR27]

Why would you make something more ugly than the Civic Type R? Even blind freddy knows it's ugly as 🤬!

what self respecting redneck is going to pick a a FWD Honda UTE over an S10 or ranger? None, thats who! But then, utes have not really been an american forte since the early 80's. Baja's arent exactly wildly popular here and thats all we got for a modern ute.
Personally, I hope this never sees the light of production day. Just silly to make a car like this a pick up.

You can find this Honda fan boy on the corner of Ashamed Dr. and Embarrased Ave.

I can't even.....

Since it is a "truck" they should take off the rear wing and it would look pretty good.

Also, needs to be RWD since it's a ute. lol Might as well just make a Ridgeline Tape-R.

 

[Lambob]

dear Honda, what happened? can we get a clean looking car back please?

 

[Cosbuster]

Nothing can make it look "pretty good" other than make-up. Applied directly to your eyeballs.

Or just take the wing off the back. No need to apply make-up. I appreciate your opinion though.

 

[Apple Slipper]

The oddest creation by Honda ever since the 2011 Honda Odyssey Pikes Peak race van.

 

[Dennisch]

Finally, the deep south will embrace the Civic.

 

[Sick Lenny]

So cutting off the back end of a car roof makes it a truck? LOL
I actually like this. Not saying it's a winner, but I like weird things done with cars.

Maybe middle eastern people will buy it and fit a RPG on the back.

This makes little to no sense


Anyways could see how Aussies would love it.

22nd of September

Could be worse
