Made in Swindon and expected in showrooms in the latter half of 2017, the next generation Civic Type R comes hot on the heels of the current car, which was launched in summer 2015. Debuted as a prototype at the Paris Motor Show back in September, the mass production version is expected to be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March next year. With over 10,000 readers expected to vote on a list of 2017 car launches compiled by the experts at What Car?, the competition is fierce as the award is a valuable indication of sentiment towards cars being brought to market in the next year. Honda last won the award in 2015 when the HR-V claimed a massive 25% of the 10,000 votes, and came a close second in 2016 with the NSX. To vote in the awards, head to www.wcreaderaward.com and click on the Civic Type R. Philip Crossman, managing director of Honda UK, commented: 'The next generation Civic Type R will be the fastest and most extreme version of the Civic to wear the famed red badge in Honda's history. Kicking off the year with a win for this car at the most prestigious automotive award ceremony would be a fantastic achievement. We are incredibly keen to win this award and are asking all Honda fans, customers and lovers of the Type R to get voting!'
