Good read from Jalopnik, read the full article here: http://jalopnik.com/honda-could-bring-the-civic-hatch-to-america-but-what-1692414077

Everybody knows America’s Honda Civic isn’t the same one Europe and other markets get. It’s different, see, and that’s probably what will keep the insane 2016 Civic Type R out of our hands. But the days of cars unique to different markets is largely over; we’re in the era of the world car now, and that may be a good thing for Americans who want a Civic hatchback again.

As much as it would be nice if America got the Type R, I don't think that it is going to happen. I think that the Civic that we get over here from Europe will likely be the next gen Civic.

as much as i want to say it will make its way to america, it's just too early to say just yet what the outcome will be.

we'll have to wait a bit longer for more solid information to go off of

Why do you think Honda is hesitant to bring the Type R over to North America?

No idea.
The days when we had a Type R sold in America seemed to have went well, not sure why they held out all these years.
