Visited the Tokyo Auto Salon yesterday.

The Civic Type R as well as the other new generation Civics were displayed very prominently.

Other than a limited amount of FK2s sold last year here in Japan (700 and had 10,000 entries) Japan hasn't had a Civic model on sale locally since the FD2.

I did enter the "lottery" for the FK2 but wasn't selected.

In discussion with Honda and Mugen staff it appears that it will be a standard order-able model this time around, and available in "summer" or possibly August in the Japan market.

The Type R and other Civic Models were clearly imported just for the show as the were left hand drive.

That has to be why it wasn't at the North American International Auto Show... the Si was here but not Type R. Probably Left Hand drive model was at Tokyo Auto

Yes but I'm super shallow and needy... I literally questioned every single person at the Honda display wtf they didn't have the Type R there... then promptly scolding them.

Shame... shame!! Shame!!!!
