Exactly, hence why I’m likely gonna go for the new M2 haha
The new m2 is going to be sick…I’d personally stay with the ctr considering the long term reliability and practicality. But you can’t go wrong with the new m2

Trust me I’m trying. I want a manual car that’s reliable and more practical in terms of space and the type r fits the bill so I’m really hoping I can find one at a reasonable price. I didn’t realize it would be harder to get a Honda than a bmw. I can get a bmw at msrp all day, and possibly a discount. I know the civic type r is limited but the production numbers aren’t that much different than the M2.

M2 will be incredible but for nearly 80grand it better be.
Being a 2 door with no room in the back it definitely has a different suitor. I bet its fast as can be and can push the back end out with the power but also weights nearly two tons.

My dealer said they would get allocations mid august and cars in September. They said I could be 1st on the list but they’re charging $15k over msrp. Wow! No thanks. Told them I’d consider at 5k.
Ill go out in a limb and say this R will be worth more 10 years from now than what it was originally purchased for.

anyone know of east coast dealers close to DC that has it at MSRP? I don't mind paying extras for Ceramic and clear bras.

Yep.

And I'm looking all over the whole country. On a few lists at smaller dealers for MSRP. But those dealers are telling me they are struggling to get inventory on just about everything at this point... so odds aren't great at the moment for me.

Looking for this too
Anybody know if any fl5 will be below $19k markup in CA? /s @Whitboy82 🙃

But in all honesty, unless you already found a dealer in the past year to put a deposit on, your chances of finding msrp is slim to none the US, ubless you dont account mandatory add ons as markup. The way this car is being hyped and limited, add chip shortage and all the affluent kids graduating high-school yearly, everybody's in America has $ to burn. At this point if you can find a type r for $10k over, it's a deal unfortunately...

Nothing interesting right now

Yeah, there isn't exactly a lot of other options if you want a manual 4 door sports car

You can get an Elantra N, CT4-V Blackwing, Golf R, or M3.

The Blackwing is unobtainium, M3 is twice the price, and the Elantra N is going to feel like a huge compromise.

The Golf R is probably closest... but so conservative, and the steering wheel controls are a bit of a mess. Plus it has a shorter wheelbase, so not as good for road tripping as the others mentioned. I really don't find myself lusting after one at all.

M2 will be incredible but for nearly 80grand it better be.
I think this is where I am headed, but man... big price jump :(

I am also starting to worry about mortgage rates. In a couple years when I renew, is my rate going to be 7%, lol. Hard to drop M2 money in the face of that.
