New 2007 Si Civic Coupe - Not Coming to AUS?

well its pretty close that the civic Type R will be bought in, as Honda needs to bring back the zap it once had in the market...hot hatches are the way to go at the moment...and its about time Honda decided to pull there finger out and bring in the little pocket rocket!!!

hmm if honda bought the the civic type r hatch then it will be in direct competition with the mazda 3 mps.... both are priced around the 40k mark as well...

but if the sedan version was bought in there will be indirect competition (toyota aurion and the commodore). but yer i hope they bring in the sedan version cos it looks better imo.

I wish they don't release it over here! Makes me feel that my purchase in April this year was a waste.. I should have waited etc... :(

Wouldn't mind spending a bit more to get that type R...

STOP TALKING ABOUT IT DAMMIT!
:mad:

yeah its to expensive to convert and import into the australian market...but ill still get one if i can import it here.150kw?! thats sick

coz there is no market for it. integra sales have absolutely died, so we wont see the integra in showrooms much longer (i believe they aren't bringing anymore in, they're just selling current stock).
hell even the civic sports aren't selling well enough to warrant another 2L civic sedan.

if you want a k20 civic we have them in the 'sport'

every car maker wants to represent their brand in the hot hatch category now.........even subaru are thinking of a hot hatch version of the rexy.

no your friend is lying.
lol.
there was some interest, that's why the 2005 motorshop they had the mugen teg there, and had a survey, where they vistors fill out.
there was word where honda au was honda bring in mugen, and at this point, i'm quite sure it's not gonna happen.

ages ago, i'm talking 90's ken carrol, honda dealer used to be a the importer for mugen.

i agree with you, subaru has a hot hatch rex, looks pretty mean saw the preview pictures of it...when the type R hatch makes it to the austraian shores i will definately have a good look at it...time will tell
