i thought the jdm itr and the old ctr could produce 161kw??

with this uk type r that produces 147.6 kW + no LSD + no brembo brakes (am i wrong? saw a video on youtube the new ctr has a caliper with the word 'type r' on it).... and it also has VSA traction control makes me feel like this car should be a type s rather than a type r.

and it doesnt have recaro.

but doesnt mean its a type S....

just not JDM thats all

The EP3 had the 'Type-R' word mechanically engraved on its calipers, surely if this was made in Swindon UK, they should have them on this CTR as well...unless the CTR that we Aussies will get will be made in Thailand?...

Anyhow, although it's not going to be JDM spec, I think it still takes the cake. We down under never were able to sell CTR's in the mainstream market until this announcement, first time ever I believe!...so I think it shouldn't be criticised.

40000 these days for a hatch and nobody blinks an eye. Some people actually want one!! Rubbish. the worlds gone mad.

saw it at the motorshow
the brakes aren't brembos justl ook like stock civic ones,
seats have "type r " on them from memory.

thats correct the seats have type R stitched, the car at the melbourne motorshow is exactly that of the UK version or similar...the interior is nice...going to enquire about this car as im definately interested now
