Honda Civic Type R UK sales to cease

The Honda Civic Type R is dead. Or it is at least in Europe, as the high-revving, naturally aspirated 2.0-litre engine that powers Honda's hot hatch can't meet forthcoming emissions requirements  That's right – the Civic Type R can’t meet the latest Euro5 emissions regulations that come into force at the end of 2010, meaning in the UK and most other European countries (a tiny handful have Euro5 exemption) the Civic Type R will cease to be. If you live outside Europe then you’re still in luck as the Swindon-built Type R will continue to be sold in markets as far afield as Australia and South Africa.

New Ford Mustang leaks out ahead of official reveal

The first photo of the 2015 Ford Mustang Ford has been busy getting ready for a reveal of the new 2015 Ford Mustang on the 5th December, but their powder has been made a little damp by scanned images from Autoweek’s story on the new Mustang leaking out ahead of publication. The new Mustang still looks like a Mustang, but in a  nod to Ford’s European styling mantra it gets a version of the Aston Martin like grill now proliferating across Ford’s European range together headlights incorporating LEDs. At the back, the new Mustang has the required three bar lights and a new diffuser, whilst the interior looks decent quality if a little retro in style.
