LOL, I doubt they will shave off 10k even if they are built in Thailand. It is all about profit maximising, not doing charity work.

Realistically speaking... My point of view...

According to memory... When the DC5 integra came out standard it was 42K and the Type R was 46K...

So if the same pattern was to happen... The standard Civic sports now is 33.5K so I'm guessing that the Type R would be around 38K or so...

The fact that it's a Civic as well compared to an Integra I don't think it'll reach the 46K mark *fingers crossed* either way I'm gonna get it hahaha so doesn't really matter...

Also I did a quick online conversion of the UK price to AUD and it's around the 35K more so yeah... I'm expecting 42K or so... Hopefully that's with on road...

Agreed, quotes without proper references suck. But still 46k is abit steep for a CTR :p

The way I see it, the awesomeness of that engine is matched by the "complete package" thing of the CTR. However if it starts costing 5-10k more then forget about it. Mazdas have awesome build quality as well and they arranged the performance driving day which I'm not about to forget.

Mazda on average is the top #1 brand for quality, followed closely by Honda. The gap to Toyota in 3rd is huge. Ford etc are waaay down on the list.

not sure if this has been covered on this forum, but the MPS3's have had some issues with the engine literally falling out of the car. so if you call this quality then i dont want quality. Also this "topgear" list doesnt mean jack to be honest, because I read a survey from what people thought about cars in the US and they said HYUNDAIS were the most reliable. It's obviously based on people's opinions and if u asked another group of people their opinions would differ

Yes everyone would love that version to come to australia but the probability of that is very very very slim. According to the UK forums there will be a RR version which is a very stripped down version of the current civic hatchback.

Apparently so its a light weight version of the current type r coming out called Type-R R i'm guessing. Also a Jazz type R L.O.L factor in full effect. But don't quote me on this, its something that i found on the UK civic type r forums.

You will need to register to view their forums though. Good if you want to know what the consumers think of the car over there.

apparently the 4dr Ctr is still in production through test and stuff

Here you go....
