Obviously, not one of the Paris Show stars, but nevertheless, Honda's Civic Hybrid Sports Concept caught the attention of a few press people thanks to it's tasteful bodykit. Based on the 2007 Civic IMA, the concept was fitted with deep front and rear spoilers and side skirts, with the body finished in a special blue paint, set off by chrome finish seven-spoke alloy wheels and exhaust tailpipes. 
Likewise, the distinctive interior used a stark contrast of black and white as a colour scheme, with bucket seats providing the necessary sport touch. Nothing new underneath though which is pity as the bodykit looked really nice on the Civic. Although this was dubbed as a concept, we could see the aggressive bodykit in a future Civic Type S in Europe. - See the 220Hp+ Honda Civic Type Sedan that will go in production in 2007 here : Carscoop

Well the Civic Type-S (this will be the name of the 3-door model in Europe) with an agressive bodykit will basically be known as the Civic Type-R.
No one knows if the Civic Type-R Sedan, just lauched in Japan, will ever come to Europe. Maybe indeed as a "Sports" label on the Hybrid Sedan, the only Civic Sedan model existing in Western Europe.
As for the two last generations of Civic in Europe, the Type-R only came as a 3-door hatch. Also on the previous generation of the Integra but only for the Coupe.
Maybe you were misconfused between the Type-S label which means sportier versions of Acuras in the USA and the brand new Type-S appelation in Europe for the 3-door Civic which does not imply anything with sport hehe ;)
