CARS THAT DON’T EXIST, BUT SHOULD
- CAMERON KIRBY
Sweet Dream

A fast Honda that also doesn't look like an Aldi-spec Gundam

THERE IS NO denying the dynamic talents of the Honda Civic Type R. It possesses a quality of engineering that sees it hold dominion over the hot hatch class in much the same way Porsche does with sports cars.

The fly in the proverbial ointment though is the styling. It is, putting it kindly, a little outré. Looking like something that has been ripped straight from the pages of a manga might earn the Civic sweet Instagram points, but it doesn't sit well with those wanting a brilliant driving experience without the 'look at me' visuals.

MOTOR's Sweet Dream product planning division has a solution - the Honda Accord Type R. A go-fast Honda for people who don't want try-hard looks.

An Accord Type R isn't an entirely new concept, with two generations existing previously, but the iconic sedan has changed significantly in the intervening years, predominantly in dimensions. Instead of being a midsize fighter, the Accord is now on the larger end of the spectrum, with an overall length longer than a Skoda Superb, Volvo S60 and Volkswagen Passat (despite having a shorter wheelbase than all bar the VW).
