Civic Type R is coming!

^^. there is one for sale on carpoint for 25k! go get it. and its white!!

what do you think of a new black ctr with white wheels? just the stock one, i planning to paint it white and paint my calliper red

I was told 45k roughly after dealer delivery.

I'm hoping this model will be built in Thailand one day, shave off 10k off the price.

they probably will build them some where closer, honestly the civic type R will not be a top seller among the public because it is a 2 door. it will more then likely be more expensive then a Type S. I dont think people will be keen on paying that money for a hatch.

It's designed and built in the UK. So I don't think they have the tooling for it in Thailand. To start up a new line, they need to justify a large number of Civic hatches, which they don't sell in south east asia.

I think they will target the same market as those shopping for the Golf GTI. Not the traditional Civic buyers who are after performance for $30,000 (VTiR)

JDM ep3.. just under 30,000 bucks for a good 2004+ one... for that money I'd probably be able to get one with some decent big brand name fruit

but its not a new car :o .... and for that sorta money a Rx8 is buyable too.. (which imo is in a differnet sorta class, not maybe for perfomrance but for package)

I was told by the local dealer. It will cost 46K at least. I guess the range should be 45~46K.

The wheels will be in bronze. I think black with black is an over kill. Unless it is on a bike, than in that case, it looks sexy....

46k at least is abit steep for a CTR.

Dude, I had 17" wheels on my car even before Tempe's was a company. I still remember the day, My brother and i spent hours arguing with Australia's best and in the end i said "Just order the f***ing wheels" and here is my money.
