Dealer told me it would be out in late november and the typeR early next year

 

The type S and type R models are available to advance order now.

They are due for release in March 2007.

Originally it was due for December, but production of the 5 door has been so high they have had to put it back

 

I think the S is due in Jan and the R in Mar, I'd get an order in now as if they're like the 5 door you'll be waiting months for it.
