That's what the market wants!!!
They can't keep evo's on the floor, the gtr's coming here, xr6t's are a huge hit, everything's going hardcore......
actually its quite the opposite. the australian market is small compared to other countries worldwide. thats why they are having a hard time bringing in the nissan gt-r. it might not even happen at all. we'll just have to see
@ the next international motor show at the end of the year.
It would be nice if they tweaked the import laws to allow variants which manufacturers never bothered to bring in. As it stands it is overly protective of the importers and the consumer loses...
its a very nice car but it looks 2 much like a standard civic to 2 stand out against the evo's or what not at that price range. us honda people appreciate them but i cant imagine anyone else, can you honestly see people trading there wrx's and s15 for a civic?

The Mugen civic rr on the other hand ...
That's the thing, you can either go sleeper or chuck on a kit and make it stand out.
Mugen, Ings and Bomex all make the civic stand out. Ings and Bomex give a more aggressive look if that's what you're after. Whereas, the Mugen one gives you the flexibility.

When the yanks are getting them for $69k and they want to sell them for $150k here, that doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
BTW, they can't keep up with global demand, hence they jacked up the price of them recently $7k or something.
I bet we won't get them untill demand drops down for them.

depends on the price. If it was the same price as the FN2R, they would sell like hot cakes. 10x as many as the hatch.

true...so what's the problem with honda australia?! the ppl in the UK say that the suspension is too stiff for their roads but australian roads are good so i don't see any problem...
aren't they already struggling to sell the hatchback type r?? i haven't got one coz i don't think its worth $40k where as i'd pay $50k for the fd2r no problems.

who know how their(honda australia) mind works. but its just marketing in the end. they'll obviously bring in the model that sells.
