I don't think people will be interested in the Civic Type-R hatchback especially since it uses the same K20Z3 engine as the 2006 Civic Si coupé and probably the same front and rear suspension pieces, too.

Now, if Honda put in a true K24 engine derivative tuned like the K20Z3 that will probably be rated at 235 bhp (SAE 08/04 net), this would be very different story.
