Very interested to see the VTEC Turbo combo!

Has anyone heard anything about pre ordering from a dealership?

[nedkerry]

I'm saving up now!
I only heard about this a couple of months ago and initially thought it was ugly. But over time, it's really growing on me!
Can't wait to read/watch/listen to any reviews in the near future.

How much do you think its going to end up costing?

"The Honda Civic Type R price will be around £30,000, in order for it to compete with its main hot hatch rivals [VW Golf R, Ford Focus RS]."

That's about $55000AUD.

You have to subtract 20% VAT then do the conversion.
It will work out to be more like ~$40000

Yeah, good point!
Anyone know how to roughly calculate the additional taxes and expenses that goes with importing it to Australia?

The skeptic in me thinks it'll still be around $50K to align with the Golf GTI, Golf R, Focus RS, and Renault Megane RS265.
In saying that though, when the FN2R came to Australia, prices did start from $40K.
