I must say the new Type S is pretty cool. Its not as hardcore as the Type R was but I reckon its got a nice balance now between luxury and sports.

i want one... does that mean we dun have any type R anymore?
Hope there are few brand new Type-R left in Honda.........
I really had the bad feelings for the new Type-S.......
same, i really hope Honda wont stop importing the Type Rs to Aus :(
will be a shame
Looks like type R owners will be quite happy as the prices of the Rs will be more stable now cos aus honda would not be bringing in any more Rs..... :D
Well...... the New Type-R is a Fake Type-R anyway, just better than nothing...... the price for the old type-r really stables
wouldnt say its a "fake"... just detuned...Quote:

I mean if it's smart. i would understand 0-100 not being informative being 14sec or something...but typeS and stuff....comeon show some times dammit!
so its out for sale now??
lmao i rkn both the new type s & luxury models r jus rubbish..
honda has nutn else better to bring out, so they make these new variations which r jus shit...
i don't understand why they would even consider stopping production of the type r...
true tat pascoe...but i think hondas still making type r...but only in japan...and they stop the shipping to australia i think...not too sure...
importing :D is the way to go if you have to Ching Ching :D
Type Rs are just not coming this way. :(
The Type S is apparently 'more suited to Australia's needs' ....dunno.... BUT it does have more power than the Aus delivered Type R
the aus delivered type r is detuned to 200hp cause of the CR and 98 ron fuel in oz
its still a type r but one built for honda australia
same deal with the euro spec ep3 civic type r which is also detuned to 200hp
More power than Type-R but heavier, so no point
Detuned....... It's just the excuses of aus govt, they are trying to protect their Holdens and stuff...... what a selfish pig, everything is about tax, i rather pay more to get parts from oversea, i don't even want to get crappy parts from aust although sometimes it's cheaper
I just don't see how bad is 98RON and need to detune something which requires 95RON only
Comments on RON always crack me up..... its all in the tuning.
The powers that be are affraid that it will not hold up, or are lazy to invest money into further tuning so as to produce good numbers on our fuel.
I guess Honda Aust. don't want to have happen to them what happened to Subaru quite a few years ago with the first wave of STi's that came in.
it wasnt the aus govt decision to release the detuned versionsQuote:

I don't think the petrol issue is that major due to the new cars having a better fuel management and ECU that will compensate for different petrol ratings
The new typeS definately looks good, especially from the inside. From what i've read its 1160kg so with leather interior and all the extras theres nothing to complain about. That and the extra few kw's it looks like alot better deal than the TypeR we currently have.
new teg looks shit imo.
and the luxury rims look better den the type s rims!!
how many jdm DC5's have you seen?
pretty much next to impossible to get one...
honda australia are cool
you know they are when a type S is more powerful than a type R
i ve seen the new TYPE S at the motor show... er.. jz a bit mixed feelins, feel a bit disappointed that they wont bring ne TYPE Rs into aus.. reasons for da, i guess some of u guys have already pointed it out.. personaly i wont spend more than 40K to buy the TYPE S... not saying the car is crap, but i guess da prices could also opens to many other options too..
i ve always passionate the TYPE Rs.. since the DC2.. and i am very forunate to have my own DC5 in my garage... i dont drive it every day but i jz find it hard to express the excitement by words of lookin at it every day...
well... i agree da oz DC5 missed a few things like bremo breaks and a slighly "de-tuned" engine, but bcos i havent seat on a JDM DC5, i cant tell u the diff but all i can say is, my DC5 can still bring me the joy and fun of owning a FF + NA car..
heheehhe
The Type-S is alright but not like a Type-R...
- No Recaros (which is the main reason for bringing the Type-S out because it will suit the "older" drivers and Honda want to appeal to a wider audience rather than us racers/ricers)
- No LSD on Type-S so handling is not as good
- Not the same suspension as Type-R so handling again affected
- More luxury items to suit wider audience...
- But they have the same engine (Type-S having a bit more power)
I know what you mean but we already have the type S. You can always do the same as Honda Australia and wack on a type R badge. As alot of people say, modify it to where you want it. Honda Australia has to sell cars too. Mazda is taking alot of the market with the mazda6 and mazda3.
Most average Australians cannot fit in the recaro's and really are a "wider" audience!Quote:
