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.
