My head hurts from the other thread.

We know roughly the price up here, but can we expect our type R's to be different from the USDM ones? Everyone seems to be caught up in the debate as to whether the USDM gets sensing/ACC/LKA, but what can we expect here?. I remember reading somewhere on these forums @NorthernEX-T your car has some different options/things that weren't available to the ones in the states.

Would we be treated better as part of the British commonwealth? :hmm:. Seems like quite a few Canadians on here, what do you guys think?

I'm not too sure, I'm going to talk to my dealer here soon. I don't want to seem overzealous at the moment though. I want to see how the next few days play out, then I'll inquire some more. Unless they call me.

Well, if I was to place a bet.. I would say we are prob going to get the same version that the states get. Seeing as technically we are going to be paying less in regards to currency value, I can't see us getting more options that our Southern neighbors, and I doubt they will have a third version for us, were prob not that special to them:cry:

Someone also mentioned marking up over msrp is illegal here? Can anyone confirm? I always thought that dealers could charge basically whatever they wanted.

I'm in the car business, I've never heard of it anywheres in my area. Northernex-t mentioned before that it was illegal in our country which would explain why I've never heard of it.

I just talked to a Honda salesman at a local dealership and he sent me a text confirming that Canadian Honda dealers are not suppose to charge above MSRP. A manager at another nearby dealer also confirmed that his dealership will not charge above MSRP on the Type R.

I know with my 08 MDX that the Canadian version had headlight washers as standard like the Euro model shows. Would not be all that surprised to see those to help combat all the dirt and grime we get thrown at the front of the cars here in the winter.

i had a 2010 lexus rx350 that had the headlight washers, but i think you usually only see them on high end luxury vehicles. I've never seen one a Honda branded vehicle before, but who knows. I kind of hope we don't get them, id rather the cleaner look of the bumper.

Here is something just released by Honda Canada;

The Wait Is Nearly Over: New 2017 Honda Civic Type R
Makes Global Debut at Geneva Motor Show


· First Type R-badged Honda available in Canada goes on sale this summer

· Most powerful, quickest, fastest and most agile Civic ever

· 2.0-liter i-VTEC® DI TURBO: 306 horsepower and 295 lb-ft. of torque

· Major chassis and suspension upgrades for track-ready performance

MARKHAM, ONT., March 7, 2017 – Honda today took the wraps off one of the most anticipated models in its history with the unveiling of the production 2017 Civic Type R at the Geneva Motor Show. The long-awaited Civic Type R, slated to go on sale in Canada this summer with an MSRP in the low $40k range, is the first ever Type R-badged Honda to be sold in Canada. The Type R will feature a high performance 2.0-liter turbocharged powertrain, substantially upgraded body and chassis, and other track-ready, Nürburgring-tuned and tested performance components. The 2017 Civic Type R will make its North American debut at the New York International Auto Show on April 12, 2017.

The new Civic Type R, sharing the body style of the 5-door hatchback variant of the tenth-generation global Honda Civic platform, will be powered by a North American built 2.0-liter DOHC, direct-injected and turbocharged i-VTEC in-line 4-cylinder engine with peak ratings of 306 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 295 lb.-ft. of torque from 2,500 to 4,500 rpm. The engine will be mated exclusively to a short-throw 6-speed manual transmission with rev matching capability – employing automatic throttle blips for smoother shifts and power delivery. A new single-mass flywheel reduces clutch inertia by 25 percent versus the previous (European) Type R and a lower final gear ratio is employed to improve acceleration response.

The Civic Type R chassis builds on the major upgrades undertaken for the 10th-generation Civic makeover with model-exclusive spring, damper and bushing settings, a new Dual-Axis front suspension setup with aluminum lower arms and steering knuckles for improved at-the-limit cornering and reduced torque steer; a new four-wheel Adaptive Suspension System with three-chamber dampers; a retuned and adaptive dual-pinion electric power steering system with variable gear ratio; and a helical limited-slip front differential. Mounted to the suspension are 20-inch aluminum alloy wheels shod with 245/30R 20 Continental ContiSportContact 6 performance tires. Decisive stopping power comes from Brembo 4-pot aluminum calipers squeezing 350mm (13.8-inch) cross-drilled rotors at the front. The rear braking system features solid 305mm (12-inch) rotors.

The Type R’s scalpel-sharp responses are further enhanced by a body more rigid than the substantially improved Civic Hatchback on which it’s based – with a 38 percent increase in torsional rigidity and 45 percent gain in bending rigidity versus the previous Civic Type R – enhancing steering response and cornering stability while mitigating body vibration and cabin noise. The improvements are made possible by the application of structural adhesive throughout the body. Ultra-high strength steel is used for 14 percent of the body structure, and the Type R has an aluminum hood, contributing to a 16 kg (35 lb) reduction in body weight versus the previous Type R, and a 7 kg (15 lb) reduction versus the base 2017 Civic Hatchback.

The 2017 Civic Type R is designed to reward the driver in all driving conditions, on the track and on the street, and features three driving modes: Comfort, Sport (default) and +R. The driver selectable modes adjust steering and throttle response, transmission rev-matching, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) and the Adaptive Damper System. Utilizing new, three-chamber dampers, individual stroke sensors and three vehicle-G sensors, the new damper system offers a wider range of variability for ride comfort and dynamic handling response.

The 2017 Civic Type R will launch this summer in a single, premium-contented trim. A 7-inch Display Audio touchscreen interface with embedded Honda Navigation system has both Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ compatibility; and should the driver ever tire of hearing the Type R growl, a 542-watt, 12-speaker audio system with SiriusXM 2.0, HD Radio compatibility is also provided as standard.

Additional interior Type R features include heavily bolstered sports seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift boot, aluminum shift knob, aluminum sport pedals, red Type R driver’s meter and serialized Type R plate on the center console.

The Civic Type R will be manufactured by Honda of the U.K. Manufacturing in Swindon, England, with its 2.0-liter turbocharged engine made by Honda of America Mfg. at its Anna, Ohio engine plant using domestic and globally sourced parts. Pricing specifics and additional details on the 2017 Civic Type R will be provided closer to launch.
