Rarity!!

[177UG3N]

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I feel like they mass producing the the heck of the civic type r! I bought this car thinking they making under 30,000 or even less but damn they planning to do a makeover soon sheesh!! Don’t get me wrong I’m a proud owner of the type r but now I feel like they just doing it to much! Tell me how y’all feel??!!

This car is so fantastic I wish more people had it and got to experience it because it's an actual fun car.

I'd be happy seeing them everywhere

I knew it wasn't going to be rare. When Honda sells as many as these as they do (and for damn good reason), why stop?

More CTR being produced and sold = more editions (generations) coming to America!

It's not like they're all over the place, I think the highest number I've seen is still sub 37k and they've been made for 4 years now...that's not a lot.

Like others have said, the more successful it is, the more likely we get more in the future so I'm happy it's selling like it is.

If you bought it thinking rarity would make it appreciate as an investment, bad move. Some dealers argue rarity to justify ADM but it's BS. Like virtually every other mass produced vehicle, it starts depreciating when you drive it off the dealer lot.

It's a great car, enjoy it for what it is. I enjoy seeing other CTRs on the road, but they're still not too common.

I live in Houston, which is obviously a massive city, and I MAYBE see one a month. Still pretty rare imo.

You're in the wrong game of you expected a rare, exclusive sports car. You'd be paying a much heftier price if they were to only make 30,000 total. I hope they continue to make lots of them and North America gets to keep the type r for the foreseeable future. I can't wait to own one myself. At the end of the day it is a Honda Civic my dude.

Well over 37K this is mine. 500 miles on 100 till break-in over.

Redline reviews just posted to YouTube a 2020 CTR review video. The video claimed that when Honda lent the 2020 to them for reviewing, Honda said they had sold about 13,000 units in the USA since the 2017 release. There has probably been a solid 500 or so totaled CTRs seen on copart.com and iaai.com, so that leads me to believe there is in and around 12,000 units out in the wild, in the US today. That's 240 CTR's per state on average to this day, 60 new ones added each year per state. That's rare to me. I know that states have different populations, etc. but in general I'm sure you can follow the math I'm getting at.

The argument as to if it's rare or not has been hashed dozens of times on this forum, it comes down to personal viewpoint. To me, it is rare

How often do people see them? I think I have seen 2 while driving since I bought my last fall. Might be less popular in Cleveland, OH area than other parts of the country.

Every few weeks there's a new thread up that devolves into some of our esteemed fellow members crying that they aren't special snowflakes.

You bought a car to drive it. Stop thinking that buying things makes you "different."

Umm. well Ducky nipped that in the bud

The guy across the street from me has one in his driveway so I see one every day. I know a couple that has his and hers CTRs and I’m fairly certain there’s a second one in my neighborhood now. I see a fair amount roaming around the Austin area. Makes me happy to see them so they’ll make more and one day I can trade up from my Si!

Pretty rare here on the east coast. New Jersey. Don't believe I've seen another one since I acquired mine in early May.

More Type R’s = more incentive for companies to produce competitive aftermarket products

not mad about that
