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

[industrie]

thats hotness...would be a great car to replace the type S...hatch or sedan doesnt matter...both would do

[j3z3z]

Buy the UK CTR or the next Integra.

there aint no raplacment for the integra!

[chunky]

yeahhhhhhhhhhh

[sitta]

what do you guys think the price for this car will be (if it comes to australia). my guess is maybe.. starting from 37000

[VT3C]

unfortunately I can see more possibility of THIS car making it to AUS than the Euro Type R.. unfortunate only because i'd prefer a 3-door or Coupe - 220PS K20 would go down nicely though :P but when u consider the financial reasoning, is definately a possibility to produce this car and sell for ~40K compared to the Euro R version to sell in AUS you wouldnt get much change out of 50k..

DAMN HONDA NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO "" SELLL "" A CAR NOT JUST MAKE IT!

We have to get one of these mdoels now as there are too many damn models in production/plannign to waste all that R&D by not opening up your market.

I.e.

Civic Si Coupe
Civic hybrid
Civic Sport
Civic Vti
Civic Type S
Civic Type R
Civic Type R 4 Door

Is it just me or is that a damn lot of civic varients. They should Make a good one already and bring it here!

Hahaha That would be classic if it came to Australia. Then you would see all the ricers who bought K20 Civic Sports try and make there car look like one. And wouldn't you be cut if you spent all that money on a Sport and the Type R comes out.

thats hot, i prefer this over the uk 1.

[GReY_CVC]

Very Very nice.........

[TKO]

I dont understand why Honda dont wants to join the Hot Hatch War at the moment?

The War brings so much attention to Madza3 MPS, VW Golf GTi and the like...

Sad to see Honda Aust. dont really understand their advertising act..."If Honda dont race, it is not Honda."

Come on! Bring that spirit into the general market!!!

AGREE with kyle...civic sport juz came out and if the type r is cmin too y spend all that money on sport and accesories...might as well buy type r four door...i think the 4 door looks better than the hatch!!

[xenfacta]

might be a similar scenario to the dc5s. civic sports is cheaper, with leather sunroof etc (integra luxury). civic type r loses the leather sunroof etc but gains performance goodies (ITR). no reason why they wouldnt be able to coexist. a softer k20 for those who arent fussed with speed and/or prefer auto (not many ppl here i imagine) and the hottie for those who want more speed.
