Be Careful What You Wish For

You're joking, right?

I've complained, loud and long, about the softening up of the Honda Civic Si.  Maybe not so much on this blog, but my bilateral car correspondents are tired of my laments over the passing of the Gen. 7 Si.

Well, here's Autocar's quick peek at the next Civic Type R.  Granted, the (European) Type R has always been harder-edged and more Boy Racer than the (North American) Si.  But the new Type R goes more than a bridge too far.  What adult wants to be seen in a car that looks like this?
