Honda Civic Type R Scoop and Spy Pictures

Looks like the next Civic Type R has been captured in the flesh.

Compare the above spy picture to the below Geneva concept car shown a few months ago.

A cleaner rear bumper, the triple exhaust that has been shown on the camouflage car photos, the front fender vents that match the camo test mule, and similar rear wing.

 

2017 Honda CR-V confirmed? - Interesting Apple Car Play information hints yes

From CR-V owners club forum.  Member zroger73 found and posted this.

The HondaLink iPhone app received a minor update today. I was bored and reading the disclaimers when something caught my eye. Two different disclaimers make reference to a 2017 Honda CR-V. The second disclaimer is in reference to a "send to car" navigation feature that only just appeared on the 2017 Honda Ridgeline which gets the latest version of Honda's Display Audio system. This disclaimer seems to imply that the 2017 CR-V will be getting this same system. Since it is very unlikely Honda will update the current CR-V's Display Audio system for only one year model until all all-new model arrives for 2018, this find just really shifted my guess toward seeing an all-new 2017 CR-V this year rather than squeezing one more year model out of the current generation.

Plug-in Honda CR-V planned?

PHEVs not only help automakers fulfill their regulatory obligations but also can be cheaper to buy and own than basic hybrids, once the more generous government incentives are factored in, noted Dave Zuchowski, CEO of Hyundai Motor America.

Plug-in hybrids have been a rare bright spot in an otherwise dismal green-car industry. U.S. sales of PHEVs grew 40 percent in the first quarter of 2016, according to Edmunds.

Honda, with its recently announced goal of electrifying two-thirds of its vehicles by 2030, will also add plug-in hybrid variants of its core models, separate from its forthcoming Clarity line.

"Globally we're committed to offering a plug-in variant on our major core models in the future," John Mendel, executive vice president of American Honda Motor Co., said in announcing the Clarity plans last month.

Honda's next-gen CR-V, due next year, is a likely candidate to get a plug-in hybrid variant.

It will share a platform with the current Civic and the next Accord, which is also due in 2017 and is also a likely landing spot for a PHEV powertrain.

2017 Honda CR-V Artist Concept is looking good

This is a much better artist concept photoshop than the previous example.  This is looking closer yet to the camouflaged photos.
