Guys buying before they even get reviews are brave. I doubt Honda would screw the car up but they did that a while back from the ep3 to the junker replacement type r.

The center divider is quite annoying in the new civic. Being 6'2 I have to have my knee on the thing all the time. Almost as bad as the new Colorado console shifter.

No one has bought the CTR yet.

There was a quote from one of the top Honda folks that said they would build as many CTR's as the market desired. I will have to go back and find that.

I don't see Honda making this a limited production type (pun intended). Granted it's not going to be on par with the other hatche's number but it will certainly be more than the Black edition. Even if it's similar to the last Si numbers, that's not bad.

I can understand it based on the fact you can go sit in and drive a Civic Hatch. In my opinion, the new hatch is almost good enough to make me want to get one just to get out of my 09Si. If the TypeR is 'as gooder than the Hatch as the ITR was over the LS,' or better said, if 300hp roughly is better than 180, I can't imagine anything it would do that I wouldn't like about it. It would have to shoot bubbles and have a rainbow unicorn painted on the side for me to pass on it.

John Mendel (Honda North America CEO) has indicated that they will produce as many R's as the market demands. He is quoted as saying 'they hope they can sell 1,000 a month' ....but in context he also says that the price will be dictated by the British Pound since the car will be produced in Swindon. Price of course will dictate demand.

Sage Marie (Honda PR spokesperson) has been quoted as saying that the Si and the R is incremental in the Civic line up and will account for the total amount of civics on the road. Another words, the Si and R are very important to Honda.

I am just as excited about the caR as anyone else. I've owned several and will own this car in due time. I am the definition of a Honda Fanboy and No. I do not have any 'inside connections' to buy one.

I think we can all agree that the car SHOULD be great and as the AG link I posted quotes Mr Mendel, Honda knows that the enthusiasts are wanting to play with Hondas.

For those who have put money down on a car, more power to you.

"Mendel said that will undoubtedly affect the price of the Type R, but he hopes to sell at least a few thousand a month. Considering the Type R’s fairly limited appeal, that’s probably about the best they can do, but we’re extremely happy to be getting it at all."

That would be cool if all 3 cars were there, the CTR and Civic Si coupe and sedan...

I would give anything if they made the Si in a hatch. I have an 04 Si hatch. I drool for the R but can't justify 40 g's.

40gs? Im thinking at least 32k and si 26k

 

[Evo]

They won't sell many 40k fwd civics

I have a feeling there will only be 1 model package, because when I ordered mine it was only available as 1 model. Black or white were the only options.

Some of this is interesting, but ultimately hinges on your personal opinion of the value of a dollar.

"The R is still a prototype..." Honda is making this car, it's coming and everyone knows it, it is a Japanese commitment - very strong.

Now, how well the R will sell or how long it is going to be around are the questions that you apply your logic and sales experience too. And for all your history and experience it boils down to this, you are taking a bet, you're a gambler.

So, it's possible that you might not have the chance to own one.

But then again you may get one for below MSRP because you know someone - not everyone has that opportunity, but it hardly makes them foolish or uniformed.

The difference here is this, I know I have the opportunity to buy one of the first Type Rs in the USA. And I can tell you that my money will be just fine.
