thats the thing with the jap one, all the internals and sus, interior ect are type R and great!, but from the outside just looks like a riced up civic with bolt on cosmetics from autobarn!
please note, autobarn not sell 4-pot brembo brakes, rear wing with real carbon fiber part and legendary 18" type-r wheels (white)
but this place sell http://www.gtmotoring.com/civic-fgfd-jdm.htm

LOL. I don't think he really means "autobarn sells it", he is just quoting an example that the FD2R looks like an ordinary civic which is souped up with exterior parts.
Anyway it is really a challenge for Honda Australia to get it, as according to Temple of VTEC, Honda Japan's R&D development team will point to the UKDM CTR for any requests for the JDM CTR and say "The european CTR is what is made for your market." Still a long way to go for negotiations and this is by no means a certainty.
i hope it wont cost more then 45k. but end of the day it is a Honda Type R. Dont compare it with Aurion LOL
45k is at edge of reasonable. 50k is not reasonable price. You cant charge something at more than 2 times the price of base model, its not that different.
Of course cannot comapre with Aurion. Aurion is a whole class up! in size and engine capacity. So should be more expensive than a Civic.
Maybe thats why we got the FN2R...to create that extra little bit of differentiation over the range of civics we already have here.
Agreed. We dont need any more FD shaped 4 door honda shape sedans in Australia. The streets are already overrun with Accord Euros and Civics, sometimes I feel like Im stuck in a Honda sponsored game when driving on the streets. Its obsurd
