the legend Civic Type R going to be discontinued as official announcement from Honda Japan.
I bet you can't believe too, so please click the following link for the latest news as it's a bit too long to be copy here.
from paultan.org:
It’s official: FD2 Civic Type R to be discontinued after August, Japan to get 2010 spec UK-built hatchback
from Business Times:
Honda to stop making 4-door Civic Type R
In short, this CTR FD2R, made in Japan, currently selling in Japan and Malaysia only, will discontinued after August.
CTR FD2R
and this CTR FN2R, made in UK, currently selling in Europe/Singapore, will EXPORT to Japan to replace FD2R.
CTR FN2R
Maybe some of you may think FN2R looks more like a sport car. In fact, the performance of FN2R is no way near the FD2R. Here are a few points for ease of comparison in case you didn't know:
1. FD2R has 24hoursepower more than FN2R
2. FD2R original equiped with Brembo 4Pot Front Caliper, but not FN2R
3. FD2R has independent suspension system, FN2R is the only Civic with Torsion Beam, which is much disappointing in term of performance.
4. Most importantly, FD2R is JDM(Japanese Domestic Market) model!
If you still like FN2R more than FD2R, you'll get more disappointment as FN2R is made in UK. If Honda Malaysia is going to import this model, it will definitely cost more than the current FD2R model.
If you are a die-hard fans of JDM CTR, make your booking now at Honda showroom before it is sold out!
Don't have the budget yet? Buy Toto/Magnum/4D or anything u name it and pray hard!
