I was told at the car show that it isn't coming to AUS? Anyone know why not? Is there going to be an alternative? Possible to import? 2L K20 engine with 150kw very tempting...

Too costly to import mate.

We source our Civics from Thailand.

It won't come here. Which is a pity because I would buy one.....

the civic Si coupe is definitely not coming...its made for the american market and too costly to convert to right hand drive to bring them in to aust...a more likely model equavilant to the USDM civic Si coupe to be brought in to aust is the coupe euro type R hatch (UKDM) or the civic type R coupe (JDM). both models are 2l k20a powerd with 200 hp and 220 hp repectively....

hmm civic SI ain't bad...but it would be better if we can get the Type R

yer u probably won't see any civic SI in Aus on the roads (highly unlikely). Maybe we can see it in the near future at some car shows?

thx god
it looks ugly

not worth bring a coupe like that into a market where nobody wants a lil coupe like that.....hence good bye integra...

[industrie]

that looks nice..but if it was between the type R and that...the type R is the better alternative in terms of feasibility

well... I prefer the Civic Si rather than Civic Sport here (especially the back light... ugh ugly roundy thingy... ) anyway... my friend who works on Honda dealer sed next year we will have Integra Mugen Type R here in Oz (limited ed only of course)... anyone interested?

who cares. Civic Type R y0~! once they start making it in Thailand , no one would care less bout the Civic SI

[TypeRice]

Australia's market is too small, so they dont bother... australia needs more immagrants to increase our population !!!!
