Mugen Civic Type R

[Ferrer]

the one built in england, the darth vader helmet. we only get that body shape in type R form, everything else is the cheaper japanese platform.

I know, I know. It was a rethorical question on the EDM Civic. We also have it...

By the way, cheaper Japanese platform? Precisely, the EDM Civic has torsion beam rear suspension because it costs less than an IRS...

built in the UK though
yes. but apparently the JDM platform is cheaper for whatever reason iirc. i can't remember why, probably more to do with it costing more to build in the UK with labour cost than any specific design feature?

Japanese/North American model are 3 box sedans and Coupe. UK model comes in the hatchback. The powertrain is pretty similar(I guess barring the diesel and Type R variant in US, and perhaps Hybrid). The US/JDM car also comes with 4 wheel fully independent suspension(McPhereson strut front, multi-link rear), UK model has twist-beam type suspension rear, to accommodate the low rear floor of the hatch.
