My understading of it is that we are able to get the old, EP, Civic Type R's here due to the fact that Honda Australia didn't bring in anything simular. Thus it was a model that wasn't currently offered or close to something offered.

As we already get the Type R from the UK the RR would be too simular to be imported under the SEV's scheme.

Well at least thats my understanding of it, i could very well be wrong.
