I'd love for them to intro a Prelude. It's time that name came back.

Just make it a Honda Prelude this time. Don't stick it under the RSX banner.

I thought the RSX was just a civic Si

Give me a Type R with minus the Full LED headlights, Crazy bolstered seats, high performance tires, premium surround sound and I'm buying! Don't know how accurate this article is but I don't think i could do without the 7inch screen and the rear wing.

Edit. Oh and no damn NAV

Maybe release a SI Type R, and just put the detuned 2.0T that the accord uses. That way you can reduce a lot of the price, and give a good bed for tuners to use.

It all depends what they take out and what are the savings.

Im surprised so many of you would be willing to forfeit the seats, as ive always thought it was a luxury to have well bolstered seats from the factory and not have to pay $3k or whatever for a set of aftermarket recaros,

I think the ctr is a good value. as is, given what you get for a very reasonable 35k. I dont think its too bloated with options and the car seems well set up from the factory for track days, if thats your thing.

The best possible value would entail just having enough patience to wait out the adm, or resourcefulness to find a good deal now. Like some others have mentioned, i dont have much sympathy for those didnt wish to wait for whatever reason and got frustrated.

How about a base Hatch Sport with Si seats and Type R engine for 26,995?

I think we're over thinking this...

FK8G3 = Canadian VIN
FK8G7 = US VIN

The US CTR is a Touring trim. Is the Canadian model also considered a Touring trim?

3 technically is a US code also.

It's not a touring trim in Canada, it's just a Type R. It actually has more options than the USDM with blinkers on the mirrors with lanewatch system and the wireless charging pad included.

So, the US will get the Canadian model?

 

[Aero2001]

What if we got it all wrong and the next trim is not a lower one, but a higher one. Honda will call it the Grand Touring and include all the missing safety features that are available elsewhere.

Seems possible to me. Maybe it's both, with a decontented hard-core version of the current CTR more for track use (no nav, minimal stereo, less sound deadening), and a higher "GT" trim with Sensing, moonroof, maybe 18" or 19" wheels, etc.

Would make sense, it's better equipped than what you have now and the US version is considered "Touring".

Type-R, Type-R Touring, Type-R Grand Touring.

No wing on the entry Type-R?

The wing is $3,000 from Honda so taking that off drops the price $3,000 right there
