The new Civic Type R is nearly here, but which generation is your favourite?

Honda has finally announced that the wraps will come off the all-new Civic Type R on 21 July. A little longer to wait then, even though we’ve seen the new hot hatch plenty of times in camouflage and know it has already set a front-wheel drive lap record at Suzuka. Not bad. 

We’ve also driven the new Civic in standard eHEV form, and there’s a few clues to suggest that the Type R will be very special indeed.

Anyway, until the full reveal, why not let us know your favourite generation of Type R in the comments below. EK9? EP3? FN2? FK2? FK8? Sound like F1 tactic codes or new ways of swearing at people on the Internet, don’t they?

Still, it just so happens that today is exactly 50 years since the Civic first went on sale, so let’s all have a fun little throwback, shall we?
