    But ya won't. Honda Oz have gone the grey cardigan marketing route. Now loud noises or bright colours out at Laverton these days.

        but there's talk they will strip down the spec. (eg. no recaros, no lsd...)

          Would that be the first 4-door Civic Type-R?

              Why bring the real thing, when you can add Type-R badges and the rice burners will buy them anyway? Profit11111one~!

                Wheels' test of the "real thing" makes it sound pretty lame compared to XR5 & GTI & RenaultSport 225 & MPS & VXR ... which are all around the same price as it. So I don't think it particularly matters whether we get the "real thing" or not.
                Soft roaders represent an excellent compromise between the needs of the hardcore 4x4 user and the convenience of a city hatchback. Its clear to see why they have become so popular in todays society.

                      Uhh.. wtf @ the torque figure on the one we're getting. It's 148kw, ok, cool, but only 193nm @5900rpm???? my 1.8 girly tiida makes 175nm @4800rpm but is only 93kw... the torque figure just seems a little low considering its 148kw....

                            How much would you like it to make? It's not easy getting much over 200Nm from a NA 2L.

                              rj_astra has it in one

                              torque is a result of capacity and stroke

                              we know hondas are short stroke

                              we know hondas are small capacity

                              therefore it's going to have as much torque as a Singer sewing machine

                              you do know how to use a 6-spd manual like anyone on P???
