Seven automobiles on the top-ten list of best-selling cars for March 2011 sold more than 30,000 units. Only three were able to achieve that quantity in January and February. This shows that automakers are beginning to see an upswing. Though, the list also shows significant gains in the midsize category, coming in as the number-two best-seller is none other than Honda with their award-winning Accord.

Many years ago, a British-built Honda Civic Type-R hit the road, and drivers everywhere loved it. From the company's home base in Japan to the United States, Type-R has become a trim level of its very own.

The Type-R is only made at Honda's Swindon plant in the UK. The engine is coming under some fire overseas - it will be discontinued in most of Europe after this year, as it does not meet new emissions standards.

In late 2009, Honda imported 1850 units of the Civic Type-R Euro from Britain. For 2011, the Japanese carmaker will bring 1500 units of sports car coupe to sell. There are little changes made from the previous model, which includes additional Crystal Black Pearl color over the usual Red and White, trim updates like the different finish on the fuel cap, a new number plate and a few minor cosmetic changes throughout.

Technical specifications remain the same as Type-R's older siblings. It keeps it's naturally aspirated inline four-cylinder 2.0 liter engine that produces 201 horses at 7800 rpm and 142.3 lb-ft of torque available from 5600 rpm. Power is sent to the front wheels via the same 6-speed manual gearbox. Acceleration to 62 mph is done in 6.6 seconds, with a top speed of 146mph.

Pricing for the 2011 Honda Civic Type-R Euro spec starts around $37,200 USD.
