comes out end of this year.

out in May for US market, already on the US honda site. form the 2 links from above it looks pretty the same as the USDM ones (the 2nd link) (but i assume we wont get K24's like them? since we dont get "Si" badged hondas here)

[DuffyFD]

i wish we got the k24. ****ing australian market. buyers are a bunch of idiots

[ryaan]

yeah i searched the internet and the usdm ones already came out to the dealers this month.. i wish they had si's over here too... zzz

you guys think they'll be the price increase? im liking the new i-mid systems on them.

the fn2r will cease production for next year... so atm it looks like we're only gonna get some slow boxes and a super expensive 5 door hatch. not sure what the next gen civic 'sport' will house. maybe a watered down k24...?

201HP... im a ninja, imma a 'horny' ninja

[ryaan]

LOL thats a really nice ad..the si looks pretty nice over there.


i doubt the "sport" will get a k24 tho.. maybe if were lucky enough...

[curtis265]

ours will be shit, guaranteed.

[threesix]

gayest ad ever. 2012 honda everything fail. coming soon to us all.

[JOhnnyFD]

aus gets diluted watered down civics

[boyboy]

was thinking of getting a 2nd hand 8th gen for about 16k until i heard the 9th gen will be coming out. from the looks of it it won't be until 2012 before we get in aus ey ?

[ryaan]

they should be coming late 2011 which is around november december?

i really hate the look of the rear end of the new civics..

[JOhnnyFD]

i'll be switching to toyota in 2012 :)
*runs and hides

The problem is that the Si may look good,but IMHO it still lacks power and torque compared to the competition.If we get the next Type R in OZ it will have the same powerplant as the Si model in America.
The Japanese 9th gen Type R will be more powerful and will not be available in Australia........as usual.
Mugen Honda had a 2.2L that produced 190kw and about 240 Nm,the 2.4L will still produce 147kw?????C'mon Honda ,pull your finger out!!!
I know it's been discussed to the nth degree,but Honda has indeed deserted the enthuasist and in addition we still hear rumours that the next NSX is back on the cards???
Honda enthuasists world wide have had a gut full of Honda's empty promises and constant nauseating references to it's PAST racing achievements!
Honda nowadays,cannot be believed but if I could give a message to the CEO of Honda Ito San it would be; "Don't talk the talk,if you can't walk the walk".AND
don't try to appease the world's Greenies with devoting the vast majority of resources to hybrids.Come to think of it, Honda can't even get their hybrid program right.

^ i thought there was no such thing as a 9th gen Japanese cvic. The civic has finished in Japan.

[curtis265]

^yeah me too, there's no JDM 9th gen

[ryaan]

why has the civic finished in Japan? whats their replacement for the civic?

[Raztaz]

because no one was buying them in japan, unpopular. http://e.nikkei.com/e/fr/tnks/Nni20101115D15JFN03.htm

GoAuto says the sedan should be arriving down under in early 2012 with 1.8 and 2L engines

[Raztaz]

im guessing R18's again for the normal models and a civic sport with a K20 again?

[ryaan]

wow early 2012 now... the delay just keeps going on and on. good job honda... :thumbsup:

Delays are to be expected after the devastation caused by the recent earthquake, lots of suppliers were badly effected so a shortage of parts is a problem & will be for some time. The following is an extract from a Honda Japan statement.

Honda and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries recognized approximately JPY45.7bn of losses," the automaker said in its results statement. "Honda and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries did not recognise the costs of future restoration activities expected to be incurred in the next fiscal year
