I've spoken to my dealer also and he is confident there will be an initial allocation for Aus in December (delivery hopefully Q1). He couldn't find where he read it though. He also said Honda had asked for dealer feedback regarding colours. They could launch with all colours or save 1 or 2 for a...

This is basically how it works in Australia for New cars. The Manufacturers advertise a vehicle at a "Drive Away Recommended Retail Price" which includes registration and government charges. This RRP is a ceiling that the dealer must stick to as per Australian consumer law. The margin is built...

True, I remember people saying they should have added a piece to the door to make it look more flush. Enter the aftermarket. I dont hate it. Varis do something similar

I double wrapped back in Uni. Definitely lasted longer

FK8 owners: ?

Mentions in the comments there is a full throttle run coming to Honda's Youtube.

You're right, I should have said better availability. From what I've read 93 in the US can be hard to find depending on the state so it makes sense to offer a detuned version. Here we have 98 pretty much everywhere. Or maybe I just really want them to give us the full fat version from Japan!! ?

Yeah it was the same with the FK8. Some say its due to Fuel quality and others say it's because of our hotter climates? We have far better fuel than the US and FL5 was meant to address the overheating issues so....:dunno:

https://www.drive.com.au/news/2023-honda-civic-type-r-price-japan/ Whats everyones thoughts on this? Speculating $60-70k in Aus.

Hey check it out! The FL5 has put on 40kg! I wonder how that'll effect how it drives??

Looks like the valve is operating at the 17sec mark once the car has been warmed up.

One thing that I've seen mentioned from time to time is the silver centre console is actually Aluminium not plastic. Can only imagine how hot that will get in summer here in Aus! The shift knob was bad enough.

Proper diffuser that actually extends under the vehicle. Have seen a lot of "review" vids mention this. Most pretend diffusers are just there for show like the Hyunda i30 for example.

Be careful what you wish for. Here in Australia, Honda have moved to an agency model with fixed prices Australia wide. The dealers don't own the stock so Honda dictates price with no ability to negotiate. The previous Civic started at $27k(ish) AUD on the road and topped out at $38kAUD. If you...

This would be pretty remarkable. I remember the R35 GTR setting this time when first launched back in 2008. Given it had about 70hp more per tonne than the current CTR it would have to be one hell of a lap! Did they ever attempt the record in the LE?

Same, I am first on the list at my local dealer subject to how greedy Honda Aus want to be. He seems to think orders could open next month for Jan/Feb arrival but its pure speculation at this stage.

Thats exciting, I'm guessing they didn't give anything else away? Will be interesting to see how Honda Aus handles the launch allocation. I'm guessing its first come first serve for the initial stock. I just hope they don't trash the heritage of (relatively) cheap performance and launch it at...

Surely not over $70k! The previous model was $55k ish plus on roads and was built in the UK. This is coming out of Japan and is tipped to be only going up by 3-5% in OS markets. Also I think the 2023 Golf Range is now DSG only so take $2500 off for an Apples to Apples comparison...
