If the demand is there they will keep making them, simple.

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??!!
lol I know what youre talking about. I didn't buy the car as an investment, nor did I buy it for its rarity. I bought it because Ive always wanted a R. However, I was led to believe they were only going to produce a certain amount, then stop for a while then come out with another version in 2 to 3 years. Thats all. I still thinks its pretty rare though. Appreciate it while you got it and next car you get buy something completely different. I'd still take an Integra type R if I could find one

I bought a used 2019 this past weekend 05/23/2020. I work at a shop in the Houston area and my shops front door points a the feeder road to a major freeway. I see one or two a week at least pass by my shops front door. There is a friend of someone that lives on my street also in SW Houston area that I see frequently parked in front of their house. I think rare is a strong word, uncommon is more fitting in my eyes. A Lancia Stratos is rare, a Porsche 959 is rare, even a Lambo Aventador...rare. I think our cars are uncommon, nothing more.

The business is good, the masses want more. Why would they stop making them? The Phoenix Yellow LE CTR was sold out within minutes on pre-order. All couple hundreds of them were gone without showing the MSRP in Canada. People love the CTR.

Let’s settle on “The Civic Type R is the rarest car you can get for under 40k”

I like that our cars are uncommon. I live in NJ and I rarely see another Type R around. I too am happy that they are still in production and they are selling out. I want manual sports cars to stick around.

Other than a black CTR I’ve seen at a local car show there a red CTR
parked at a hospital parking lot I pass when going to work which I assume was the red CTR in the showroom when I bought my car in 2018 otherwise the CTR is a pretty rare sight too see in the area I live

Honestly, I rarely see type r and I’m in SoCal. I like that it’s actually being produced more with that usually equaling more support for the next generation and more Mod companies investing in the Car. I would also like that more cars be made so bullsh!t dealerships can stop telling us how rare the car is and add ADM.

I think I’ve seen 4 total in the wild. There is someone in town here with a normal civic hatch that has added all of the bodywork from the R. The only giveaway is the tiny brakes. I don’t understand that. For how much he’s spent, he could’ve had the real thing.

I've seen 2 in the wild since they came out and I drive around to various casinos here in Oklahoma all day every day as part of my job. I guess it just depends on the area. We don't have type-R friendly roads. Passing over the train tracks in Madill is like hitting 15 pot holes all lined up in a row.

Curious. If they where super rare as people wish, then there’d be a good chance you wouldn’t have one right now,....and you would be wishing that the had made more.

catch 22.

I'm with you. NJ here and haven't seen many in my neck of the woods. Like that's it's more uncommon.
