**jords** · 22-01-2007 08:09 AM

Cool car...shame it probably wont make it here.

**Menzy** · 22-01-2007 08:39 AM

i want one

and sounds good too hehehe

I hope it does make it here. It should be more expensive than the UK Civic though. Imagine shipping the car from Thailand to Japan in parts, getting it R'd up, assembling and then shipping down to Australia.

we could well get that model - is it going to be Thai made like the current Civic we get?

The Type R bits and chassis strengthening should be done in Japan. But I suspect the car's body, basic suspension and internal parts will be from Thailand, shipped to Japan, where everything gets assembled together with Type R suspension, gearbox, engine, extra bracing welded in and thin windscreens put on.

omg
that is so sexy

**EK4R** · 22-01-2007 12:19 PM

oh damn. looks sexy.
not a huge fan of the 4 door but does look good in that footage.

we better get all the goodies like brembo etc not like the dc5r stripped down.

and whats happening with the DSG? or is that an extra option

hmm it starts to grow on me =9

**Chris_F** · 22-01-2007 02:29 PM

cool video although it didn't say much...

I have a strong feeling that this typeR model will make it here

honda Australia has no sports car now... I'm sure they are looking to fill the gap sooner rather than later
