The Geneva Auto Show may not be the hot ticket over here in the States, but it's big in Europe. This is where all the major players on the other side of the Atlantic unveil their latest creations to the soccer-loving public. Most notably, Honda unveiled the Civic VTi Type S, basically, a toned-down Swiss-only version of the R. The hatch is lowered from the factory, comes with a 160hp DOHC VTEC motor, a Mugen gauge panel, and 15-inch O.Z. wheels. So while Honda kills the hatch over here, it unleashes a monster version over there. Why? Why? Why?
