According to Honda AU, Honda Civic SI hatch is coming in April.

it would be interested to know how much it will cost. With recent AU dollar exhcange rate it won't be cheap or sure ...

Any insiders know how much it will be ?

close to 30k, I would go for the euro...

I was looking at civic 2.0, and top up slightly can get the euro, decided to go for the euro... and it rocks.

bringing that car here is just the most rediculous idea yet,
its so bulky and ugly and gutless K20A it up geez... (+supercharger

)

More type R please with the same power as the JDM releases....

My cousing has a Si with a K20 drove it went ok, prob just a bit quicker than our CTR here...

I belive you are talking about Civic Si in America which must be a very different car compare with UK's Si and the one we are getting to Australia.

After reading that, I seem to think that Honda Australia are on some sort of crack.......

Who in their right mind would buy this over the FN2R? Heck, I would just buy a GTI instead.
