Interactive route-planner highlights some of the best roads in Europe, just 
as Honda announces that it won't sell its most exciting model anymore.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Honda revealed that it will no longer sell its formidable Civic Type-R in 
Europe at the end of this year, bringing a 30-year legacy to a close and 
causing many fans of the multiple award-winning hot hatch to shed a tear or 
two. 

In fact, Honda doesnt really offer anything in the way of a sports car at the 
moment, but that hasnt prevented it from investing cash in the development of 
an interactive Dream Drives map . 

Curated by motoring experts, driving enthusiasts, as well as Civic Type R 
owners, the bespoke website features the best driving roads across Europe, 
covering everything from short blasts in Denmark, to more meandering mountain 
passes in Switzerland. 

The slick digital interface features some fairly obvious candidates, such as 
the Passe dello Stelvio in Italy, but it also features lesser-known road 
trips that traverse Estonia and into Lithuania. Image 1 of 3 (Image credit:

Some of the other highlights include The Blue Road (which takes you across 
Sweden and Finland through fjords and lakes), the Col de Turini in France 
(which stars in the Monte Carlo Rally), and the 1500km Wild Atlantic Way that 
takes you across the west coast of Ireland. 

All of the featured routes neatly boast a 'Drive Now' button that clicks 
through to a complete route-planner on Google Maps, inclusive of any traffic 
notifications or road works limitations. 

Honda says that this specially commissioned and unprecedented collection of 
roads is the perfect way to sign-off the Civic Type R in Europe and that it 
allows owners to go out and actually enjoy their cars. 

Whats more, the dedicated microsite is accessible on both mobile and desktop, 
letting you search for a specific road or find inspiration by country, route 
type, drive distance or duration. Driving: enjoy it while you can (Image

If you own a Honda Civic Type-R  or any Type-R badged models from Honda's 
back catalogue  lucky you. The Japanese marque's current line-up consists of 
relatively uninspiring SUVs and the Jazz, which doesn't show any signs of 
expiring. 

Personally, I'm not too sure tackling Scotland's North Coast 500 in a hybrid 
ZR-V would hit quite the same as experiencing it in an NSX, but fair play to 
the marque for admitting that some customers still enjoy the thrill of 
driving  and recognizing its diehard Type-R following. 

Let's hope this means Honda has some exciting cars in the pipeline, because 
whatever replaces the Civic Type-R has some big boots to fill. You might also
