Even if Honda were to bring in this Type - R , considering that authorised distributors cant compete with AP importers on pricings, the previous (mini mpv-like Type -R) costs RM220k .... around the price of the Evo 7 selling at that time. If Honda Malaysia were to bring in this model, maybe RM240-250k ... i'd rather buy Evo 9, or Scooby, or Audi 2.0TFSi, or Gold GTi, or Saab 9-3 Aero. All this can out perform Civic Type - R (not on track lar... except Evo and Scooby) this kinda pricing really cannot justify Civic's performance as a high performance car.... oh .. the 280hp Subaru Legacy with all time 4wd costs just RM268,000 ...... its miles ahead ler..
