Well, I look forward to a test drive and see what's the fuss is about.

Ask her if it has a shorter throw than the Accord Euro. :D

Ok, why do you feel that the Civic Coupe will come to Australia? Is it because we got the previous EP Coupe? Or the Accord Coupe? Or the Acura CL? Or the Mitsubishi Eclipse? Or the Camry Coupe? Oh wait...hang on.

The current Civic Coupe is built IN the US FOR the US. They have a large enough market where they can do whatever the hell they want. They are not going to waste money converting cars just for the Australian market. Why do you think it took so long for the Ford Mustang to come to Australia?
Japan currently don't have a Civic Coupe, in fact, no other market in the world has a Civic Coupe, so unless Japan or any other large RHD market decide that they want a coupe version, we're stuck with just the sedan, and the hatch if we're lucky. History shows that Australia has a slim to zero chance of landing the Civic Coupe. So stop wasting your time dreaming about the Civic Coupe!
