Something interesting about the 02 type r's

i was lookin at streettuners.com when i came across a pic of the new 02 type r's. I thought it was pretty interesting that the steering wheel on the left hand side of the car and it is a type r. Does this mean that we might get type r's out here or is this something else. Here is the pic. later.

but the thing is, is if they are type r's that are to go to japan, the steering wheel would be put on the right hand side instead of left. I dont know, im probably just as confused as everyone else is.

There's a very simple explanation. We have the Type R here in Europe and we all drive on the same side of the road as you do (except for the UK).

I would love to have a Type-R w/ the steering wheel on the wrong side, that would be sweet!!!
Everyone would be like WTF???? How'd he do that "steering wheel relocation" mod?[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

If you guys look at the March MotorTrend pg 24( I think ), it has a little passage in there that says the RSX Type R and the Civic Type R will arrive in the states at about the same time sometime next year... give it a look... It gives us some hope...
