Civic Type R $39,990 + On Roads

[aaronng]

why they talk up the weight then, it's not like they can benefit anything from it??

Power-to-weight ratio for insurance?

There have been other examples of cars that were design with arse=front look that worked out alot better than the R.






and TT namely.............

My point........CTR still CT-UGLY aSSsss.

Feel sorry for the first guy to bring one to a circuit club track day. Every tom dick and nguyen will be bench marking against it..........hahhahaha.

Just to put things into perspective, this was taken from Evo Magazine



Has anyone been quoted prices for the accessories yet?? I was quoted some today and the prices are unbelievable eg $695 for the door trims, $895 for front skirt...

I remember reading a post about a special edition model to be released in the future but now I can't find it. Can anyone help me out?

That's normal. The rear lip for the Euro costs $900.

Unless the person who posted that up works at Honda UK/Japan, I wouldn't believe it.

Such a sexy car, would love to buy one if i have the money available
One thing bother me is the weight, with 1343kg is too much for a Type R. The Type S if i remembered is only 1280 if with 154kw and hardly make the 6.6 in 0-100 and 14.8 in 400m o_O This civic type R should be really a Civic Type S since Aus Honda chosen to import it to fit our market over the jap Type R. It just replaces the Integra typeS, our civic type r have even have more luxury goodies than the typeS such as dual aircon, steering wheel audio remote control, cruise control. Is it really nessary to have them for a truly Type R? If Aus honda really wanted to go down this path, they should just have only Civic sedan Vti, Hybrid, Civic Hatch Luxury model? and the JDM type R in our civic line. Atm we have Civic Vti, Vti-L, Sport, Hybrid now Civiv Type R, I wonder how well the Civic Sport going to do with the sales.
After all, the integra type s is gone and the civic type r is a better overall package compared to the type S, i just wish i have the money to buy one now even if it is call the civic type S.
