A wait that, in many cases, is to be appreciated because some models have a delay of more than a year. That is precisely what happens to this mysterious protagonist that we have already revealed to you. It is the Honda Civic Type R. The new generation of the Japanese hot-hatch has aroused a great expectation and many have been the users who, both in their country of origin and in the rest of the markets where it is going to be marketed, have already reserved a unit.

We will be waiting but what is clear is that the wait for Japanese drivers will be eternal.
