Community Type R Location / Color / MSRP? Spreadsheet

[aays06]

I don't know, I have seen way more CW than any other individual color. Maybe it's just me.

Cw should be the most desired. It’s the only color that is exclusive to the R. Why wouldn’t it be?

I don't believe most people think that way -- the "exclusive" color is relevant only when comparing against other Civics and Hondas, right? Moreover, white is white to most people, regardless of any gradation of shade or tint.

Using that logic, if Honda were to offer a 2019 CTR with the exclusive color of Neon Kermit Vomit ("NKV"), are people going to rush to buy that color? I also don't think that CTR's sales of white ones would decrease by any material amount if CW was replaced with Pearl White in 2019.

Don't get me wrong, I think CW looks great on CTR, and I was thinking of buying one. But that's because I like white cars (I have owned a several) in general, not because CW is the only exclusive color to CTR or it is some exquisite tint or shade of white.

Just IMHO.

Not saying your logic doesn’t make sense but the cw still is the exclusive color to the r and will and should retain the higher value. Look at adm as well. The cw is the highest.

Good afternoon everyone. I live in the DMV area (Maryland to be exact) and I'm looking to purchase a 2018 Honda Civic Type R. Anyone know any dealers that are selling for MSRP that have a White or Red one in stock?

Good luck on finding MSRP in those colors

I thought Honda was supposed to be producing a lot more of these for 2018?

 

[bobafettm]

Not that auto show reps are usually knowledged but they seemed to be under the impression that they will be producing the CTR for years ahead. Meaning supply will eventually meet most demand like the RS...

Just added 4 in WA state to the excel spreadsheet.
Good luck!

I can guarantee you that the one headed for South Tacoma Honda will not be sold anywhere near MSRP. I was there a few days ago and they had a CBP one and were asking $51k.

 

[jaydan1020]

Also I called about the blue one in Sumner and they are asking 3k mark up.

In the Porsche GT (GT4/GT3/GT2) world it's just about exactly how you describe. If the car most used in press photos is a particular color, that color sells more. If they offer a color in a slightly different shade and say it's exclusive, that becomes more desirable. Neon Kermit Vomit has been released several times to universal acclaim. Seriously (although they call it something different).

On a more grounded note, I like racing history and I actually do think CW is special just because it's evocative of that history. I do think the appeal would decrease slightly if it was replaced with "pearl white." That being said, it's too bright for a DD for me and I'll choose a different color.

I'm not sure if someone would want to update but I got mine through Richard Sapp at Honda of Spring in Houston at MSRP - no mark up. Apparently someone passed on it because they did not want white?

Back on the market for a 2018 Type R Polished Metal Metallic on the South East @ MSRP no add-ons. Let me know if you know of one. I appreciate it!

 

[diakonia]

Autopark Honda in NC is getting a polished metal CTR. I just found out today and they will be selling it at MSRP no add ons. Good luck
