I would put next to no weight in this until someone puts a name to the information.

Here' for a look at how auto lies become news and rumors

It’s summertime. Stories are few and far between. Auto-News editor Gregor Hebermehl needs a story. He has a few beers and starts to speculate: Now what could be the platform for that Siebener Killer of Saab? Must be the XTS. Ok, ok. But Saab is dead, right? Herr Hebermehl sees with horror that he has just 179 words, and he already is at a dead end, what with Saab being bankrupt. Hebermehl promised to deliver more than 700 words. After a big gulp of Weissbier and an even bigger leap of faith, he comes to the conclusion that “The former Saab mother GM must want to sell the XTS platform under one of its European brands. In Germany, this would mean Opel. In the UK Vauxhall.”

I realize that they never were intending to bring the Civic Type R to North America, but that doesn't make me any happier about it. I just don't really understand why they made that decision. It's such a cool car and North America is a huge car market. Why wouldn't you want to sell it here?

Because they don't need to, the segment has no need for a Type R. It's simple really... http://www.10thcivicforum.com/forum/54-honda-civic-versus-competition/1170-civic-vs-corolla.html

It's just funny to hear everyone and their mum say bad call no Type R, they should bring Type R over. Oh really? You don't think Honda knows that the internet is full of ****? You don't think they know that sportiness hasn't sold cars for 10 years, at least not volume wise? We're all so smart, how come Honda hasn't found our CV's yet?
