The Civic may slightly weigh less than the Golf (35kg) but look at the difference in torque figures between the two vehicles. I find it hard to believe the Civic Type R can do 0-100 in 6.6 seconds given the weight and power figures. Something doesn't add up.
In the promotional material and specs they say the gear ratios have been adjusted to compensate for the extra weight over the previous typeR. The final drive and/or ratios in the first two gears may make that 0-100 time possible (maybe if Jenson Button was driving it like he does in the promos :P)... it may do worse in the 1/4 mile.
Either way, the styling of the car doesn't appeal.
Kudos to honda Australia for finally brining in the CTR though (even if it isn't the just as ugly JDM equivalent)
Will be cancelling my deposit, was quoted $43,888 drive away with mats chucked in and not negotiable what so ever. Salesmen at homebush was a bit pushy and felt like he was bull$h!tting to me wasn't really helpful when i asked him what i was getting in the car which he couldn't answer and kept telling me to refer to the internet which was the UK model.
Don't really care whether i am the first to get one because better deal > being the first one on the road. I'd probably be more cut if i found out someone got a better deal then me. So i'll wait it out abit for a few months or so when the hype dies down a bit.
The dealer showed me a stock enquiry sheet of some sort and i think he had 8 cars allocated to his yard and 5 people had already put a deposit down one which was me. Now if it was on high demand wouldn't all 8 slots be filled out? The dealer is either full of it or just isn't showing me a more recent version of the sheet.
never expecting to get better deal for just new release car even floor mats
i got my civic one day before it officially launched, not even 1 cent price dropped and just got free 3M window tinted

I think the word "screwed" is the operative word,unfortunately.
