Would someone be so kind as to fold the rear seats down and snap a pic that includes the trunk/seats folded down area? I am trying to get an idea of how much space is in the rear with the seats down. Thanks

Along the process of the R coming to life, I made several predictions and provided quite a bit of insider knowledge. I'd like to say that I was right about most of the predictions I made. One thing I was wrong on is that I was certain the R would be readily available after the initial wave hit...

"Now it's your turn" "Grab your test drive now" Seriously Honda? lol

As the title indicates; can we please get a section dedicated to track focused discussion?

We are a week into the launch and there is a TypeR on AutoTrader for less than MSRP, several for MSRP. "This car will be incredible difficult to source" "OMG, the demand for this car will be so crazy" "You will have to spend over MSRP to obtain this car" I haven't called them to confirm...

In a few threads, it seems that there are two types of people interested in the R. Those who intend to buy it for its intended purpose (putting the R on the track) and those who intend to buy the R for a daily driver that looks the part. It seems there is a wide gap between these buyers and a...

Motor Trend recently published an article asking "would you pay mid-$30k" for the Type R and then abruptly compared it to the Golf R, the STi, and the Focus RS. So that brings my question...what does the Civic R compare to, for the US market...

In another thread, the age thing came up of people who intend to buy the R. For those who intend to buy the R, what is your age? I will be 35 in a month.

This article indicates that the CTR will be unveiled at Geneva. The Swindon Advertiser appears to be a local news source, so I expect that this is pretty accurate. Please note the key word *expected*...

It seems that in every thread, the members of the forum are so excited about details of the CTR that we can hardly stand it. We know what it looks like (in prototype form) and everyone wants to know more. Suppliers have been told to be ready for an April 1 launch. -that's less than 90 days...
