Confirmed: New Civic Sedan for Oz

[Encor3]

nope.....


but dont stress about not havin a sports civic.....ive been told about some mugen/honda australia stuff............just wait and see...

i thought that was in reference to the integra

[RyDC5S]

Civic Coupe won't come out here purely as it will undercut Integra sales.

I would have thought they would have priced this vehicle in the 23-24k range.

For 28k, I'd rather just fork out another 6k and get myself a Euro.

u have to remember the older civis were like 30k anyways...so they are still cheaper

The VTi-R hatch was good value at the time with a superb engine with no rivals. My old EK Civic CXi hatch, which I purchased new was 20K with options - great value.

At this price point, with good competition from the Mazda 3 SP23, Corolla Sportivo - Honda need to bring out a product to appeal to that 20-30 group.

they also have a very small price range to fit the car between
lower is the jazz (24 for vti-s)

higher is the accord euro\ accord v6 \ integra (low 30s)
last thing honda wants is to compete with itself so i think the pricing is somewhat reasonable considering

100% agree man (RyDC5S). if 23k i can still think ^>^. otherwise go bigger car ^-^ Euro but come to think of this 2007 euro is coming out? new model?

That's where' you're wrong.. yes they axed the VTiR Coupe because it conflicted with both the DC2 Type R and the DC5 integra, however in MY2007/2008 I expect the coupe to arrive in AUS as Honda intends to axe the Integra (may possibly be re-branded RSX when Acura are released in AUS) and fill the hole with the Civic.

not having a go at you, but what makes you "expect" the coupe to come here in AUS, and Honda axeing the integra line.
