Never denied that I somewhat agree.... even if things get "fixed" via recalls etc.

But free trade agreement or not, if honda were going to market a Japanese built civic here in Australia they would not throw another $5-10k as you say. There is just no way it would happen given pricing of its competitors. This is why I find it very hard to envision the EUDM hatch civic ever making it to these shores (other than the CTR of course) when they have mentioned it would be in the vacinity of $35k for a hatch in a smiliar spec as our current SPORT.
