    Not many people bought the Mazdaspeed 3 when it was out, probably why honda won't bring this car here.

    Some guy on 8th civic forum just said:

    Its been confirmed for Canada which means its been green lit for North America - with a turbo, emissions are not the problem they were with previous high compression type r's which makes this car perfect for north america and the growing 25-30k turbo 4/5 seater market

    We're probably not.... But Honda did bring an overpriced Integra type r here in the 90's.

    That was before Honda (and Toyota) realized how much bland and boring sells in North America.

    I looked at honda.ca

    They sell the CR-Z. Which doesn't sell. As much as the drivetrain sucks, I bet being a hatch has a lot to do with lack of sales.

    *cough* Focus ST *cough*

    The CRZ is so underpowered and boring no wonder it didn’t sell. On top of that it’s nearly impossible to get one new from Honda. I was reading online that each dealership only got 2 or 3 and once they were gone it was impossible to get one from Honda Canada. Not that anyone would want one but still.

    Even if it comes I can't see it being any better than a GTI PP or Focus ST.

    I'm really hoping it comes.

    I can see the engine being the gem here. It'll rev quite high for a turbo using less boost. With tunes we could be seeing 400 hp 2L's. Crazy.

    That guy is a clown without a source. The regular Civic SI Coupe will be for sale here in 2015 - not the CTR.

    Until NA sees the base Euro model Civic here, its not going to happen. Meanwhile, to placate the backwards-minded Americans, were stuck with conservative, traditional, bloated and ugly vehicles.

    History has proven otherwise. EP3 was a standalone chasis for the hatch only. Still no TypeR, but not based on the USDM civic.

    I have one and love it. IMO the EP3 was an NA market test for Honda - which failed.

    EP3 was/is a great car, it's a shame it never went anywhere.

    It was not really a stand alone chassis considering it shared almost identical underpinnings from the USDM Civic and RSX.

    If they had put the K20A2 in the EP3, it would have been much more successful.

    Then it would have been a type R and we wouldn't be second guessing whether or not we're getting the new CTR hatch
