Not a bad clip. Thanks.

Gotta say though, I don't really like the styling on this car. Especially the rear taillights.

Tail lights FOR THE LOSE!!! :bad:

You would have to import then I guess..

The car looks very good, very aggressive! And JDM 8)

Well, I cant help but notice that is a prototype using the 4 door model. Maybe Im wrong, but I always thought the Type R's were based off the two door Civics/integras and such.

If you take a look at the Type R Civic 2 door that went around the car show scene a few months you will see it looks much much better........

The good news for us in the US is that we get the Civic Si that, in my opinion, looks soooo much better then what the Euro's will get with the Type R "hot" hatch........and all we have to do is order some parts from Japan and, as near as makes no difference, we have a type R.

I test drive the Civic Si when it first came out. Its a sweet car. 6 spd, lsd, nice seats, good sound, navi, etc... Its got lots of stuff for not much $$$. I would get one but right now Im looking at an old Porsche 911, a 2000 Audi S4 (the twin turbo V-6), an E36 M3, or a 944 Turbo S. Im pretty much trying to decide which to get.....

Importing a car is not really worth it unless it is uuber rare or desireable

Not bad, I like that 4 door Type R version. Its certainly better looking than the euro hatch. I just wish they'd bring that to the US or at least make a Type R version of the coupe here.

Well if you don't get it won't that make it rare and desirable?

[ViperASR]

but would it be worth doubling the price to get it imported and registered and such? For 50K I could get an M3 or something of that sort, which would be much better than a Honda Civic

Yeah I know a guy in Jamaica that has a turbocharged 2005 Integra Type-R. I am extremely JEALOUS

I agree..

But if you would do that at least it would be rare!
