  according to the Feb 17-18's Today newspaper, the 3 door civic type r hatchback will be here soon! kah motor is supposedly taking orders next month, and first deliveries start in july.
  
  it has a 2 litre i-VTEC engine, 6-speed manual txm, and goes to 100kmh in 6.6s. standard features include 6 airbags, cruise control, rain sensing wipers, and 18-inch alloy wheels.
  
  but it wont be cheap cos of the strong british pound.
  
  a car worth waiting for?

  Hrmmm... maybe cost around 100k ??
  
  With a 2.0 iVtec+3 dr +18 rim + sensors and all.. I would estimate that the price is more then DC5.

  if costs more than 100k, than u are better off buying a DC5R. as a simple comparison, a JDM EP3 sporting 15 more horses, LSD, HID, Recaros, MOMO steering and 2 pot front brakes (all these items are absent from the UKDM CTRs) were selling for a few thousand dollars less than the DC5R back in 2003. the UKDM specs dun even warrant a higher margin IMO.
