I still dont understand, Honda JP already developed the CTR and alread in production, so why Honda Aus cant get them available for us? It doesnt hurt the market to have the JP CTR as another option for some enthusiests, plus its a 4 door so you can put baby seats in and drive your parents around. That way ppl who loves the hatches can get the UK CTR and the sedans can get the JP CTR, whoever is a hardcore type r fan will know which one to choose. Get rid of the Civic vti-L, so we have civic vti for the standard, civic sports for the ones with spare money, civic hybrid for peaceful ones, UK CTR for the hatch lovers, JP CTR for the JDM enthusiests. Really, just give us 10 JP CTR in AUS and see if it sells in the 1st month, it all honda so im sure it doesnt hurt them that much to make 10 extra to experiment aus market.

The issue as I would see it is that Honda AU would still have to go through the full ADR and registration process for the Japanese car (which as has been discussed) costs both time and money. To cover those costs they have to sell more units so it starts to become a 'cost benefit analysis' type situation.

Guys,

Just took it for a quick wrap down the street. Feels pretty punchy, nice and tight, nice sounding engine & good brakes.

I think its definately a step in the right direction.

I'm sure UNLS1 will give a better review than I lol...

As for vupham, mate its so easy to talk about it in theory, but to make it reality is near impossible. There are so many factors with bringing another car here. You have no idea how hard it was to get the UKCTR for our market.

[UNLS1]

the biggest issue was quality! the britts arnt known for quality built cars. At the launch i talked to the 2 blokes from honda UK about the quality. It was amazing the stuff they were goin on about. This car in Aus is a massive thing for honda UK!

Honda aus believe there are 3 smiles to this car
1. When u look at it
2.When u sit in it
3. When u drive it

i had a small hard on after my quick drive hahahahaha j/k
ill post up sat morn.
