Just curious. Im 37, and still prefer the look of coupes over HBs and sedans.

A ctr coupe would be pretty sweet.

Wife probably wouldn't let me get it. She ok’d the hatch because of the 4 doors, for when we have kids.

Im lucky in that i dont have a woman deciding anything for me. Been there, done that.

Buy what i want, do what i want, answer to nobody, and get to keep the my money i make

Anyways, 2 door civics have always looked the sportiest of the civic body styles of pretty much every generation. IMO, of course.

May be, but closer to no way lol. Actually, it would be a may be from me and a no way from my wife. I can't see my wife being okay with a S2000 and a CTR coupe in the same garage lol, when our baby was born in January...

I suppose it would depend on how large of a performance impact there is. How much lighter or better controlled would the coupe be to the hatchback, or vice versa.

Same here. If Honda told me because the coupe was stiffer and lighter and would've made it the best candidate for a Type R, then yes. That's after I get past the fact that I can't afford it. But really though, I like the practicality of the 4 doors and the hatch. I didn't like having to recline the seats to get passengers out, or how far the doors swung open when I had a 2-door.

What if that’s hondas plan? They release the first batch in hatchbacks then halt production and prepare for the coupe type r 2019-2020.

I actually rationalized buying my '17 Si over the CTR for 3 reasons, in this order:
1. Cost difference
2. Fuel Economy
3. CTR wasn't available as a coupe

A month ago I said, "Fuck it." and decided to trade my '17 Si for the '18 CTR that I have now.
I loved the Si but I'm much happier with the CTR, despite those things.

Actually the CTR being 4 door was one and the main reason i almost didn't buy it. Never liked 4 door on a sports car. 4 door mustang, camero, corvette, nsx.... nope. Have had my CTR since july 17 and only time I've ever even opened the back doors was to wash and dry car. For me its just added weight thats not needed like that stupid back wiper thats 15lbs of dead weight.

I have a 2017 EX-T coupe. We just took a vacation, me, my wife, and oldest daughter. They knew that we were taking my coupe (Wake the Dragon) and they dealt with it. Her daughter is short, like 5'4, so the back seat was a none issue. I have had a coupe (Monte Carlo and Civic) for the last 10 years(oh, and a Firebird with a newborn and a 5 year old before that). If you want it you can make it work. Anyway back to the idea of a coupe CTR. IF a TypeR is to be thought of as a "sports car" or even "track car" it should be available in a coupe, as most of these types of cars are coupes. I would definitely be all over a Type R coupe. I mean come on! THIS THING LOOKS MEAN. Not my picture BTW, I found online.

The Honda Civic Type R has never been a coupe? You want a new Integra Type R. Remember, just because you never had it in the US it doesn't mean it doesn't exist...

2 of those are still 2 door hatch. Just because it hasn't happened since doesn't mean I cant dream or that it never was. They could even do it as a hatchback, similar to the style of the 90's mustang. Then it would still be a hatchback, but 2 doors as before.

I had a coupe before I got my R, and one of the things I learned quickly was the lack of practicality with 2 doors. It was great when I was only riding with myself or one other person... but when it was more than one or I needed to carry things I definitely felt like I should’ve gotten a 4 door.

I like the hatch design because there’s TONS of utility this car offers while still being a world class sports car. You can cram a surprisingly large amount of things in the rear of the Type R. It’s why I wish Subaru would bring back the WRX hatch/wagon - it’s more practical than a normal 4 door with a trunk.

I won’t lie though, one huge thing about the hatchback is the THICK C pillars on the rear. I can definitely see less because of the pillars compared to my coupe where they were much less intrusive.

No for me. It's one of the main reasons why I got rid of my STI and got the type-r.
3 door? Yeah why not. But 2 door? No...
I will admit tho, I like how the 10th gen coupe looks.

Not now. Back when I owned my few Integra Type Rs, probably. As a father of two boys, it made it easier to justify the purchase as we could all enjoy it together. At least that's what I told myself to justify it, although it just sits underneath the dust cover in the garage other than a couple of times since I purchased it :)
