For the first time in Malaysia, the new CTR is offered.
My friend sold his 1-month old Sedan to buy this.
Price?
On the road with taxes and everything cost RM199k which is $57,554.37 !
Ohh how i love Malaysian import taxes......
Well at least no more gray market imports.

 

jesus....that's one hell of a price.

 

no thankz..

 

black market ftW

 

Hahaha wow.....that is terrible. What does a regular Si cost there?

 

We dont have a SI version.
We have 2 versions here, the 1.8 liter and the 2.0 which is only 155hp !
No manual option only auto.

 

gee!

 

seriously, there is no way the car equals that much USD...

 

Wow

So is that the hatchback or sedan CTR?

 

Wait... if they have the R18 motor, then what crappy K20 are they putting into the 2.0? Sounds like K20A3 but what... why?

 

it is the K20a3... just like the basemodel CSX in canada

 

wow. thats rape.

i'll be over in Kuala Lumpur next year for the base jump contests.........

I would never spend that much on a Honda.....

 

You have to pay to be special. If the price was cheap for importing, everyone would have one, and it wouldn't be special anymore.

In Vietnam there is a 100% TAX on all cars no matter the make =O

Base civics start out at 33,000 American dollars. I saw a few s550's there too. BALLER

 

hah! lets put it this way, in thailand. the DC5 type R cost between 3.5-4.0 million baht depending on who you are importing through, and one dollar roughly equals 38 or so baht... its gray market, but holy expletive batman, its 200% tax on any car and then a gas tax added onto it depending on how crappy the fuel mileage is. this all happens in a country where you regularly see ferraris/lambos/porches/GTRs driving by at very excessive speeds on bad roads with ridiculous traffic.

i would hate to see how much a 2008 CTR would cost in thailand, and just for informations sake... a mint R34GTR VSpec costs between 8-12 million baht. ouchies.

(btw i used to live in thailand)

 

When the actual car is infront of you,.. Looking at it with your own eyes, things can change, bro.. Believe me. We would do all sorts of things to get our hands on it.

 

in Malaysia, import taxes for cars go as high as 300% of the price tag probably to protect the domestics

here's the specs of the ctr:

215 ft/lb. torque........am I reading that correctly or is that a different measurement?
