New Honda Civic Type-R

Any word how much is this car going to be?
When it will be available?

yeah, i also want to know about it...is it honda malaysia will bring it here?

Price should be Dodge SRT/4 - MPS 3 range.

rated highly by car magazines in UK, beating the fabulous Golf GTI, Focus ST and Vauxhall Astra VXR.

i believe Honda should bring in a batch for those enthusiasts who can afford the price. they should not let grey importers to lead them instead.

but imagine this...

1. bring in the car CBU
2. bring them in small numbers like 50 units.
3. its a good car, demand will be high.

same situation like VW Golf GTI. expect similar pricing starting at 200K.

Type-R or what, they are still HONDA CIVICS so I dont think it will be too expensive, i.e. like in Japan and US, but in Malaysia I suppose they will not be officially imported.
if some small dealer brings it it should cost just about 200k.

it is not out yet right? or are you talking about the UK version type R... the one with air conditioning and the usual luxuries... the hatchback with the cyberlook...

the japan version which the current 4 door sedan selling in the local market is due to be out next year if i am not wrong...

and i don't believe honda malaysia will bring in any of this units... no market for it...you have to think in majority of the population in Malaysia.... Honda wants to make profit too...

this is not your normal Honda Civic or even a type S... this is a exclusive model where many parts are tuned in great lengths for driving performance... even the main nuts and bolts on the engine itself are bolted on using torque wrenches by hand... and the additional port buffing and polishing is also done by hand... car is optimally balanced... so the price is worth paying for if you consider the work done to it...

looks fat... DC5 looks better...
