Don't think the "current" Civic Type R is built to meet US federalization standards. However, the next gen Civic hatch will be N.American bound, so we might be getting that gen of CTR then.

Then again, even though the 300+ hp CTR wouldn't make it to our shores now, there is a chance that the engine (or something similar to it) would be heading our shores. Honda is spending a bunch of money to retro-fit their Ohio plant to product a family of turbo 4's, so we might just see something in the form of a Civic Si.
