2018 CTR Trim Levels / Options

[2112]

One thing holding some back on pulling the trigger on the Type R is the expectation of additional trim levels to come out next year.

I heard this through a video or article, don't recall. Does anyone know what the other trim levels or options might be? Not a big fan of Touring package as I feel the Honda NAV is a big waste of money.

I think I would want to kick myself if I buy the CTR now and in 4 months they announce a new Sport trim package or a GT package, etc. Already not being able to wait for the CTR I purchased a Sport hatch last December. Good news is the dealer is giving me a great value for my trade as it hasn't even seen its first oil change. The concern is that I may be in this same boat in one year if CTR offers more appealing trim levels. However, if I wait I only continue to lose value on my Sport as a trade.

Anyone have any evidence of additional trims being considered?

I think there will be a base model with less stuff in it. If you're looking for a special edition, or something like the S2000 Club Racer equivalent, I wouldn't hold my breath.

looks like there will be a base model, minus auto climate, 12 speaker stereo, LED lights. I donno, if i'm buying a 30k car, i kinda expect those features and will way extra for them.

Agree on the NAV, it has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, there is no need for this $1000+ accessory and its weight

How heavy are Honda nav systems? #weightreductionlife

I never imagined Nav to be a heavy accessory... < 5lbs?

That's like, 2 good hours at a buffet for me...

Lol a lot less time for me

so where is the proof there is a different trim? so far there are only people who HOPE there is, but no proof that the US or Canadian Markets will get anything but what we have now.

in my better days, I'd be right there with ya.

...in my defense, I also have a toddler to attend now, too, so she often distracts me from my original intentions...

speaking of distractions - apologies for hijacking this thread from CTR -> buffet accomplishments...

I keep wondering this as well.

No proof exactly, just a comment made by a guy driving a prototype CTR that some dude posted;

I can only comment that I heard from presumably a Honda employee in a video that there may be more trim levels next year. If this means they will offer a base pkg I have no worries.
How many car models out there are currently offered in only one trim level? I don't think this is an industry standard so speculation that additional trim packages is forthcoming is understandable, IMO.

well, to be more technical, the type-R IS a trim level. but I do see where the speculation comes from; as the previous Type-R in Europe has a base.

True. For all we know they may just stop selling the TypeR in the us without a MY18.

doubtful. Honda spent tens of millions getting the car certified for sale in the US.
