After seeing this article, I might change my mind and stick with Civics after all.

imported_eth0r

whoa, 2.0l 200 hp

Someone posted this a while back... still no definite word on whether it's coming to North America, but if it does, I'd even consider it... though I'd rather go for a RSX Type R (if that ever became available).

imported_EG4door

Oh please please please.... I hope it comes here!

noAC

i think we'll get it. it took a long time but we finally got the subaru wrx and now the wrx sti. thought i'd never see those over here.
lets keep our fingers crossed!

Buff 'n Stuff

Type R better stay the hell away from here! if it comes anywhere near here, I'll be one pissed ****! :fustrated
I'll go down to the dealer where I got my SiR and demand they make it an even trade, since they told me the Type R wouldn't be coming.
If that don't work, I'll drive my slow SiR straight through their show room window!

SiR-Racer

if the RSX-R came to Canada it would probably be priced around 40K. at that range there are way more cars that i'd rather have.

Dude I will go with you.. after all my research I decided to go with the 02 SiR thinking that Honda won't bring the Type-R over.. ****..

aside from the engine/rims/bodykit what else is diff?? either way.. ya.. that article pissed me off

Buff 'n Stuff

I believe the Type R's a six speed transmission.

+ Type R badging.

imported_SiR_YO

boo to that..

if it's like 5-10k more, than I would rather get aftermarket ****, and dump a turbo or something ... have a "sleeper" SiR smoke the Type-R would be satisfying

Buff 'n Stuff

right! that's exactly what I was thinkin.

imported_SiR_YO

lol, I used to drive a '93 Impreza LS.. and it was sooo slow.. auto too.. I was thinking of getting a STI engine and dropping it in.. man that would be one sick sleeper ride.. but I said *** it.. lets try Honda.. and here I am

but if the Type-R DOES come.. man.. I will be pissed, but also more motivated to beef up my car

"Honda hasn't publicly said the Type R is coming to the U.S.--but we say it's a done deal. If you're in the market for that kind of focused, high-commitment driving all the time, you'll love the Type R, though less-aggressive pilots may tire of it quickly."

Said that in the article

imported_SiR_YO

guy we all read the article!

that doesn't say much though.. so vague.. I mean, you can sub in Prelude in there, or a Z3 even.. like I mean the way I look at it, never drive a car faster than yours... cuz then you will be "regretting" your ride.. or that much more motivated to make it go FASTER..

I test drove a TSX, and I was like DAMN.. but then again it's a totally diff class..

noAC

i want more european model cars over here.
not far they get all the good *****!
i think i'll go play some gran turismo to satisfy me.

imported_SiR_YO

yes.. like Peugot and Fiatt ... they have some nice compact hatch's... but I doubt they'll ever come here
