Do I hear k23a? Hopefully a special Type R style N/A k23a, unlike the one in the RDX...

sorry i found the article and re-read it and it's a de-stroked k24a down to 2.2L (for more torque than k20a)

There is a rumour that we might get this car. We'll wait until it is released to find out. But until then, it is fun hyping it up. Previously, the hot hatch market was a dead market. Now with the XR5, VXR and 3MPS, it's hotting up again. Just like when the old Mazda6 came out, it pushed Honda Australia to bring in the Japanese Accord, which we had not seen since the CD5 times. I really hope that Honda Australia decides that they want a piece of the hot hatch market too. For what you get in the CTR at $40k, it's a bargain when compared to the DC5S.

I agree the DC5S sucks. But isnt the DC5R better than all of these?

I dont know how fast it is, but I just cant stand sitting in a car shaped like a pear even if its a Honda. The fact it doesnt have a backend doesnt help. Hatches... :(

Don't quote me. The DC5S does not suck. And the DC5's backend is as long as your Civic.

Love the DC5R and previous years model. Hated the new 2006 facelift for the typeS. Hate the new headlights, tailights and especially the new wing.
