The Honda Civic Type R - controversial for its in-your-face styling but lauded for its performance - is getting some important updates for 2020.

The latest iteration of Honda's hot hatchback debuted stateside at the Chicago Auto Show last week alongside several other new models and model trims, including the 2021 Jaguar F-Type, the Jeep Gladiator Mojave, and the 2020 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid.
