The Real FD2R Landed in Down Under

[TypeSexy]

i was being sarcastic, you couldn't notice? LMAO

[Howie]

So slow and reliable is exciting motoring TypeSexy?

I'm in the same boat as Tony. Honda build good cars but they ain't the only ones. These are Honda forums but that doesn't mean we have to be one eyed dickheads about it. Although, that is the stereotype of a Honda driver, so keep flying that flag.

Shame that the latest and greatest Honda atm is a Civic... Great job, killing off the NSX, S2K, and any future sports car in development. You'd have to be a real zealot to stay with the brand after already owning a Type R of any sort.

Someone send this thread to Honda - the amount of interest in this car, Honda deserves a bullet for not bringing it in.

I would pay 50k for one. 60k would be pushing it, maybe for an RR though

you won't get a RR in unless you are willing to pay sth close to 80k mark.....which is sth I test drive back in Oct.....and they are a lot better then Stock FD2R.......

[scheung]

sweet.

If this is the same price as a new evo to land one here i might just get the fd2r

A new car over a 2nd hand import.....umm.....just doesn't sound logical...

[TypeSexy]

evo are not the best cars, thats why a honda fan boy would take a CTR over a evo.


sorry to say

im not saying the evo is the best car.....

im just saying a brand spanking new car with 0km(or delivery km's) over a 2nd hand import...hmm.......

But anyway.....this civic type r looks awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great car. I love the practicality of it. But it's just too expensive. At approx AUD$46000 it's reasonable and would do well me thinks.

Problem is, at that price there's probably no money in it for them.

But there's hope. As I understand, when the dc2r came out, they lost money on every single unit sold. It cost more to manufacture than the price it sold for.

sounds like this car can munch anything on the road. Where can i get one? LOL

[A'PEXi]

they're a great car... not your average 'family car' that's for sure.

Who care keep up with what John drives? His 3rd s2k?

Nice FD2R. Interesting to hear that the Japs don't consider it a real Civic Type R since its 4 door.

Wonder how they will respond to the FN2R when it hits Japan.

[m0nty]

They still think it's a great car. Just not a true Civic in their eyes.

[swooc]

always a cool concept to have a unique car (in the area) whatever car that may be.

[03DC5R]

I will try to make time Phil . . .

and with the FD2R you have to drive it then you tell me if you can compare with your EP3 . . . .
the $20000 I reckon its really worth it, I will see if my friend be around on that day when you are here in SYD
the I will take you for a drive

very nice car mate...but i highly doubt its worth the extra 20k....put 20k on an ep3/dc5 and it will out brake/out handle/and definately be quicker than this thing in a straight line....not trying to hate, but just my $0.02
