Honda has already shown the new Civic Type-R in a camouflage suit, but it is not yet time for a unveiling. We will soon get to see more of the new Japanese powerhouse.
Honda reports that it will draw the curtain of Civic Type-R Prototype during the Tokyo Auto Salon, which opens its gates on January 7.

It could just be that such a concrete harbinger will be shown in the Japanese capital just after the first week of the new year.

Honda is already releasing a few images of the new regular versions of the Step WGN that will be shown later. The current-generation Step WGN was presented in 2015 and went under the knife in 2017.
