Civic Type R Prototype Named Official Car For F1 Japan Grand Prix

[DreadAngel]

I'm gonna love it, Honda Australia needs some Type R in their pants

[Limbo]

that's a nice car, i liked the Dc5R but i think that one certainly looks nicer and 4 door is great! no more messing around with people in the back. ALso good for going shopping and putting bags in the back seat. I'd trade my ek4 for one.

LMFAO !!

Johhny you cant confirm this as there has been NO official release from Honda Australia nor Honda Worldwide.

Japan doesnt get the Type R (sedan) till March 07 so how/why would honda give us with our tiny market the European-built 3-Door for ~50k ?? they arent.. so please stop misleading the public untill you have an official press release in your hands !!

i hope jonny is right though!...

Maybe more false hope,but I have always thought that the sedan,would have to be cheaper to import into Australia ,than the British built Euro hatch Type R.

it maybe cheaper to import but maybe there will be alot of demands for the jap sourced type R, its possible that we're getting the uk one instead

i just look at this web site and there is no car with over 200hp sold below b15m? that is about 53000 in our money, that is bad... andway 220hp is quite good for that car thats about 160 kw??

Honda Australia in 2006 = Boring

Bring this and bring it back to 5 years ago when Type R's ruled!

jeepers.........that article kept on talking about the demand for the civic over here.

but theres no way they'd be able to sell it at $53K.......anything under $45K is more realistic.

if $32K was for the sports........would it be reasonable to expect ppl to pay an extra $13K for the top model.......i guess not.

This is the best chance yet, that we've had in getting a 'watered down' civicR in aust.

I hope we do..........like yesterday already.
