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....

Honda has announced a prototype Honda Civic Type R based on the 4-door sedan model that will be used as the official car (red flag car) for the Japanese Formula 1 grand prix.
The prototype is expected to finish development and be released in Spring 2007, in the Japanese market. The Honda Civic Type R sedan will have a specially tuned sport suspension and will feature the legendary K20 i-VTEC high-revving engine, over 220PS
WTF! The Si in that pic is RHD! I thought they were made only in LHD in the US.Quote:

Does anyone know which Civic Type-R is better between the hatch and the sedan or are they exactly the same other than their body shape?
jdm > euro
eww look ugly frm the bak.. LOL! look like one of the daewoo car??? o.O
i reckon civic coupe is d way to go xD
edit-image not loading for some reason
er... reason for posting the "we seen it all" pics? :confused:
civic type-r hatch in oz will cost around 40k up.
so if you have 40k, what type of car do you want ?
1.luxury/roomy = accord euro/aurion or c-class/3series(used)
2.power = mazda 3mps(190kw)/WRX or monaro/holden HSV(used)
3.sports=integra type-s or s2000/1991 nsx(if u lucky)
4.hatch with brand name=alfa 147 TI(top of the range)
now, tell me honda type-r hatch,where should i put ?
may be this :
5.hatch with Honda brand:type-r
;)
Ninja'd from the UK forums:
This is the sedan version oh i wouldn't mind one of these.

Anyone know the colour range and options available when new? I don't have flash here to access the website.
^^this one. much better than the hatch monstrocity.Quote:

OK it is about time Honda Australia did this - and we now finally have a CTR. However, I just wish it was the sedan that we were getting. That thing looks hot - the hatch; well I'm not impressed. Nothing on the EK9.
If the sedan came out I'd be seriously considering buying it. But not the sedan. :(
Just a hypothetical, what if the JDM CTR was the hatch with 162kW, while the UKDM one was the 147kW sedan. Would you still want the sedan then?
certainly not!! cuz im getting the hatch in june!!:pQuote:

sorry out of topic, anyway, i will still buy if the price around 30k
What speed were you doing to cop the $600 fine?

Note: Sedan isn't coming to AUS.
Shouldn't be comparing things that isn't available here. There will always be something better overseas. Obviously everyone wants the sedan version but it wouldn't make sense if they just brought out the hatch and the sedan at the same time. There will be no market for the hatch obviously. My thoughts only.
by the way, the CTR will only be release around 1000 units here in Oz... ^_^ And if many ppl are demanding more of the sedan, Honda might bring them here as well in 2 years or so... (this is after I ask a Honda dealer, no 100% confirmation though)Quote:

Yeh if people are willing to wait for 2 years or so. Pretty sure something better will be out by that time.Quote:

i'm not saying this car is not good, but for AUD 40k+, for hatch i think it's too expensive.we have a lot of choices (more lux,more power,more sporty).but if we see this car alone, wow, i will say very GOOD!impresive!:thumbsup:Quote:

Stig loves the car, he chose the CTR over the other Hot hatches. Its not about how fast you go its about how fun the car is when you drive it, the CTR didn't do to well around the track compared to the other hatches he purely chose it because it was fun to drive.
If you look at last years top gear, GTI won the car of the year award because it was fun disregarding the lap time against other hatches. If you want a racing car then you are better off getting another car other then this.
riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.Quote:

- 50% greater torsional rigidity than a JDM DC5R
- "considered" engineering touches (e.g. lowering the seat height to lower centre of gravity to offset the MPV-like body etc etc etc and all the other detailed changes we expect for a true "Type R")
...then the answer would be YES. I probably would prefer the hatch.
Too bad that none of those attributes exist for this UK CTR we're getting.
If Honda Australia can bring the JDM CTR sedan then I would buy it, as it would be the only car that Honda Australia could (potentially) make available to us that is worthy of being a replacement for the DC2R - the only true Type R experience that us Aussies have been able to purchase from a dealer.
I think for honda australia to bring in any type R is definately a good cause...the reason being that they needed a hot hatch to compete against the GTI, focus, etc, not a hot sedan as the JDM civic is
niceeeeeee.. but $$
delaer says to me 41990 + onroad . but no confirmation yet
If that is the price,it's too pricey.Quote:

Only $1,000 cheaper than the awesome Astra VRX.
The question, based on that price assumption,is do I have enough brand loyalty to Honda to order a CTR :confused:
What you are quoting is the base model of each car. What sitta is quoting isn't the base model its the GT model, the base model should be about 38K or less then the golf. NOthing has been announced yet so there isn't any point comparing costs yet.Quote:

This is the deal breaker for me and the missus unfortunately. There are advantages to a torsion beam rear end..... usually a larger and a wider hatch space which is always a good thing in a hatch for lugging the odd bit of gear in the back. There is nothing saying that you can not get a torsion beam setup to handle on par with a multilink/wishbone setup...... for starters there is no wild camber changes (at the rear) on lowering the car is nice :) ..... but I would still prefer a multilink setup for this reincarnation of the CTR.Quote:

Someone mentioned something about how strong peoples brand loyalty is to Honda...... in Australia..... 0% :p
im a dealer and im still not even mentioning price untill i hear from honda aus itself!
just remember the integra type S was around 47k ON ROAD!
if u compare the CTR its heaps better value than the 06 teg type s, the teg type s was low on value and goodies compared to the new CTR.
lol not to mention the worst turning circle ever!, only 4 bags, no VSA, and terrible seats!
Mate I assure you that the civic type R is alot better than all of those cars espicially the Mazda 3 MPS.Quote:

that spoiler FTW! i love it!
Will Honda bring the 4 door sedan Type R to Aus? Its just been released in Japan so if they do it'll be a while away. I prefer the 4 door to the hatch.
nice but could ad some bodykit?
Hope new CTR can provide more colours to choose, but it seems just dream~
man the body on the new type r looks so mint
no they wont!Quote:

The brochure does state 18" Alloy ,225/40 R18Quote:
