#SEMA: The All-New Honda Civic Type R Concept Makes Its North American Debut At SEMA — FIRST Impressions?

The Honda Civic Type R is one of those cars that is almost mythical in nature when it comes to The States. Perhaps it's because we don't get it.

But, this year Honda surprised, well, everyone. That's because the vehicle is making its North American debut at the 2016 SEMA Show.

As of now it's in "concept" form; however, we're pretty sure it will stick pretty closely to this when it hits production. From what I've been seeing I'd equate this to one of the year's most talked about autos.

It's right up there with the BMW M2 and Ford Focus RS.

So, what are your first impressions from Agent 001's snaps?

Ugly because of overstyling.

To me, the Type R — black car — is a bit busy/fussy here and there but it does not scream that it's overkill.

Think: How much MORE aggressive is it over a Focus RS or Subaru WRX STI? Not much...
