I’m in love with every angle of this car… First dislike I had when the FL5 was introduced was how long it is but now I can’t see it being any other way. Before and after dinner photos as I struggle to find my favorite side.

Yup. This hotel and outdoor mall is right across from the Las Vegas Red Rock Canyons. https://www.redrockcanyonlv.org/

I think it’s a must for people who are visiting Vegas and love hiking/rock climbing and need a day away from the lights. Plenty of trails to choose from on one big scenic loop.

Look what I found. I like the ITS headlamps better and the rear looks more stylish but the bespoke fenders and the wing on the CTR really do make a difference. ITS doesn't feel as "purpose-built" for that reason and doesn't feel "bespoke" enough as a result. More aftermarket look than OEM for the ITS, and if you're into that look, the ITS would be better looking for you. For me, it's the CTR overall in the looks department. Also for some reason the rear hatch shut line at the top didn't align with the roof of the car, casting a shadow as well (see last picture). CTR shut lines were much more consistent than ITS. Made in Japan vs. Made in the U.S. difference showing already?

That angle makes the ITS look wider than the FL5.

Agreed for the Boost Blue one. Used wide angle lens so that explains the "fish eye" effect. For a better comparison look at the White one which looks stretched too like the ITS.

ITS almost reminds me more of my 1th gen Si than the CTR. Still on the fence between these two, will probably decide when I get to sit in both cars, it may come down to the seats.

When I rolled up to Oreilly’s the other day I overheard two employees arguing about if my car was a Type R or an Si. They eventually agreed it was just an Si… 😂

You responded back with “O-O-O-O’Reilly?”, right?
