Babyface you said and as I quote "Thailand will be making both civics and wont be sold as it is too old and is out of date.

I would suggest you dont listen to honda australia as they dont know what their doing more than half the time

if you look actually the new Civic Chassis is about to be released this time the Hatch and the Sedan will both be same platform (10th gen).
the timing for my prediction is slightly wrong, i was expecting the facelift to arrive a bit later on in the year as they said late 2015 or early 2016. but eventually this civic hatch will be ditched for the 10th gen platform because it will be more cost effective to make since both body shapes will share the same platform. the 10th gen will have its own type R when time comes, i heard we will receive this in 2017

anyway, this is information i will be given. i would like to see a type R come here but it just doesnt look like it will be this type R

"the 2017 civics will both be made in thailand."

this Civic Hatch that received the facelift is not the 2017 civic platform.

it takes a lot of planning to bring in a model they should of heard something by now if the 2015 type R is coming, all the magazines said it was coming here around this time of year but none of them were credible.
we can only wait n see

The thailand plant makes the civic sedans and there has been no mention of any upgrades to it for hatchback production.
There has been no mention of a new sedan type r being made any where on the internet besides from what you have said here.
Since the type R is on the FK platform it is being made in swindon.
The only plant that makes the civic hatch is the swindon one in the UK.

Honda Australia takes 1 or 2 years to bring in the hatchbacks for red tape reasons.
The car has collision ratings and fuel efficiency ratings have been done but australian law says it must be tested again which wastes time.
Honda also like to make more profit by watering down the type R.

The 2009 and later FN2 came with HID from factory, LSD but not here.

I would not be suprised if the Type R in australia does not have the LED headlights the UK model has.
Then again it might not be sold at all since there is not automatic option and all honda does these days is "AUTO ONLY"

$32000 pounds for the civic type r turbo

good luck getting it here cheap with our dollar going down

[Grayfox]

At$63,000 is a lot for a hot hatch which is the current AU price for the Type R and $69000 for the GT trim level.
This is $5,000~$9500 more than the VW Golf R, the golf has 6Kw less power but has All wheel drive(heard it is only all wheel drive when traction control is activating)
Can the type R be classed as a hot hatch since it has 228Kw/300hp+ which is like a performance N/A V6.
Super Hot Hatch?

No doubt honda australia will water down our version
And with 228KW at the front wheels is just waiting for an accident to happen.

Honda Australia fails yet again... Am not surprised...

This is the UK spec, car is not in australia and I doubt it will come in with the UK specs.

Most likely a VTI-LN with a type R bodykit, type R suspension and engine.
That will most likely be australias type r
