I'm confused. Why would they have two of the same car? I don't really get their approach. Maybe its a way to boost Acura sales?
What would make sense is same engine, auto transmission, nicer seats, heated, ventilated, etc. A car with punch that the general populace would get. A rebadged CTR is...
I look at it like this, two category of buyers:
I want a fun daily driver, haul groceries, take the kids to school, maybe my partner can drive it too, need to be fun on the weekend, damn, need to save money for our next vacation - Elantra N
I want a Type R
I don't think people who want a Type...
He's just saying this stuff to himself to get some sleep at night.
If I sunk and lost more than 30k into a garbage "hope"ium investment, that would keep me up. Best thing is every time he looks at the car, it will remind him of what a dumbass he was and is.
I find the full colour match somewhat cheap looking, like something any other Civic can bolt on. I think the winglets would look good colour matched but the wing in between should be black.

Will you look at this..
I'm curious. I've seen a few reviews where people have said they feeling they are sitting higher in the FL5 than the FK8. When I sat in the new SI, I felt I was more hunkered down and in the car than the last gen. Is that not the case with the Type R? I've not been able to sit in one yet...
I think some people are just nasty and do it out of spite.
I don't have pictures but bought by BRZ 5 years ago. I went into Service Ontario to renew my registration, came back to see my driver door keyed and rear fender dented. Was a tough few days and completely changed how I parked that car...
So the pricing was announced at base $50,050 CAD. I check the Honda site now and it reads
$51, 961! What? It's increased??
EDIT: Oops never mind, it includes PDI and freight.
I think bottom line is everyone should not pay insane ADM for anything. This doesn't just plague the Civics. People are just in general willing to toss more money to get something even if it doesn't make sense. Hence why the used market is the way it is. Going to be hard to change the mentality.
I mean mate, you have to use some sense here. Its a Type R forum lol. Most of us are here because we love this platform and want to talk with other like minded people. There are certainly a lot of Honda loyalists here too. Now if you come to the forum and almost every post is a knock on the R...
Interesting. I thought the car looks like traffic in pictures. But in person not at all. Gave me Cayman GT4 vibes. By that what I mean is the difference between a regular Cayman and GT4. Cayman looks meh, standard sports car and then GT4 is like wow this is something else.
I think Honda played...
