Until recently, I had believed that there is no such thing as a US version of the Civic Type R. I was proved wrong, however, when I found several Type R Civic Coupes for sale on eBay, in various states. And yes, they are left-hand drive. So they do exist, but I don't know if Honda makes them anymore, or if they ever advertised them.

I myself would love to have a '99 Civic Type R Coupe. I happen to be fond of some small quirks in the body styling of a '99 which I like more than in my '98 (only an EX).
