Default Jenson Button to launch New Civic type R

Jenson Button will make a quick trip to Geneva next week, helping to launch the new Honda Civic Type-R Concept, an insight in to how Honda's hot hatch could look early next year. But we've got the pictures right now.
Takeo Fukui, Honda's President and CEO, will be at the Geneva Motor Show to talk with the media on the 28th of February, culminating in him revealing the new Honda Civic Type R Concept, which strongly hints at what the production car will look like when it reaches the market in 2007.

Takeo Fukui will be joined by Honda Racing F1's Jenson Button. Jenson will be making a brief 'pit stop' from his busy pre-season testing schedule to help launch the concept model to the press.

The UK version of the Honda Civic Type-R will be powered by the current cars 2.0 litre, 200bhp engine, with the power going through the front wheels.

JB's got a lot more PR duties to fulfill now that Honda's running the show Let's hope he can "tune" the next NSX's suspension like Senna.
