More importantly, the Japanese carmaker's CEO stated that the Type R is being developed "with the goal of becoming the fastest front-wheel-drive vehicle on the <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2008/10/nurburgring-race-track-live-webcam.html">Nürburgring race course</a>". <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LWaKuAgRmaE/UFvcGVUg7rI/AAAAAAAJK5k/7jkm3xrubLA/s1600/2013-Honda-Civic-Type-R-8%255B3%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:right; float:right; margin-left:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LWaKuAgRmaE/UFvcGVUg7rI/AAAAAAAJK5k/7jkm3xrubLA/s200/2013-Honda-Civic-Type-R-8%255B3%255D.jpg" width="137"></a>On a more global note, Ito said that Honda will roll out an all-new replacement for the Fit, also known as the Jazz in Europe, in 2013. Within two years after the initial market presentation, the Japanese automaker will launch a small SUV model based on the underpinnings of the new Fit/Jazz as well as a replacement for the related City small sedan. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/09/breaking-honda-confirms-new-civic-type.html#more">Read more »</a>

Three years later, Honda revealed the production model of that concept named the S2000 in celebration of its 50th anniversary. The rear-wheel drive roadster with the manically revving 240hp (243PS) F20C 2.0-liter 4-cylinder DOHC-VTEC engine went on sale in 1999 and remained in <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2009/01/honda-to-end-s2000-production-in-2009.html">production for a decade</a> selling more than 112,000 units worldwide. <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6ObieP-tz6k/T86o0hlbSkI/AAAAAAAH0vQ/J4og37dvq-k/s1600/2020-Honda-S2000-Study-13.jpeg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5750719394520713794" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6ObieP-tz6k/T86o0hlbSkI/AAAAAAAH0vQ/J4og37dvq-k/s200/2020-Honda-S2000-Study-13.jpeg" style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; border: 1px solid rgb(224, 224, 224); width: 141px; height: 97px;"></a>We've heard many rumors about a replacement for the S2000, but unfortunately, nothing concrete.

We'll get a taste of what Honda has in store for Chinese consumers at the <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/search/label/China%20Auto%20Show">2012 Beijing Auto Show</a>, as aside from the presentation of the CR-Z, Insight and Fit hybrid models that will all be launched onto the market this year, the company will also debut two new concept models.

2013 Honda Crosstour Concept Shows up with a Fresh Face at the New York Auto Show

What Honda brought to the Big Apple is essentially a subtly refreshed version of the current Crosstour, which launched in the <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2009/11/2010-honda-accord-crosstour-prices-and.html">market in December of 2009</a> amidst snarky criticism about its looks. Most changes can be found up front where the Crosstour gets a new chrome grille that's pushed back along with a more rugged-looking bumper with pronounced fog lamp housings and a protective plate. <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hPoVZ3vacSc/T3ysG2iMRHI/AAAAAAAHP8E/G7CKpIP-sj4/s1600/2013-Honda-Crosstour-Concept-6.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5727642059826545778" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hPoVZ3vacSc/T3ysG2iMRHI/AAAAAAAHP8E/G7CKpIP-sj4/s200/2013-Honda-Crosstour-Concept-6.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; border: 1px solid rgb(224, 224, 224); width: 132px; height: 131px;"></a>At the back, even though you may not notice it, Honda says there's a revised tailgate that sports "a more horizontal design to add visual width to the sculpted lines at the rear", while the bumper has also been redesigned and features the same black moldings as the front bumper. The new contrasting moldings on the doors and the redesigned alloy wheels complete the exterior revisions for the 2013 model. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/04/2013-honda-crosstour-concept-shows-up.html#more">Read more »</a>

The Chrysler Group has already revealed that the 2013 Ram 1500 will get a new 3.6-liter V6 Pentastar V6 matched to an 8-speed automatic transmission. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/04/first-official-photos-of-honda.html#more">Read more »</a>

To be precise, it's been two years and a couple of months since its market launch in the States, which is very short time in automotive years, but not soon enough for a replacement if you ask (most) Honda fans. Today we learn that Honda has green lighted a successor based on the soon-to-be revealed ninth generation Accord, the coupe version of which was <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/01/2013-honda-accord-coupe-concept.html">previewed through a concept model</a> at this year's Detroit Motor Show. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/03/new-honda-crosstour-concept-to-debut-at.html#more">Read more »</a>
