2020 Civic Type-NeR?!
If this is true with added carbon bits Honda successfully built the cheesiest car on the market. What a joke to have faux carbon fiber inside and out with real carbon add ons. Even if it's more faux carbon it will be cornball but appeal to all fanboys because it's a new "edition" they can post about.

:rofl:

To each their own. Usually special editions are marketing garbage and badges so we will have to see what comes in the future.

Yellow rims still 20" or are they 19 or 18"? I think that's the most exciting part, possible better rims from Honda.

I think the smaller wing will impede your rear view more than the current tall wing.
looks like 20"

Yeah you’re right, I had a downpayment on a ln sti type ra and canceled. I just didn’t think it was worth it. Hopefully the type r special edition (if there is one) will be.

I hope you like paying 10k in markups... On top of the already higher price point for this thing. I hope the 12-15k more in price is worth it.

Let's be real- even if Honda bumped this thing to 350hp, you can get that by spending well under $1500US to get a normal CTR to that level

Let's be real here- the exterior looks 98% the same as a regular CTR. The regular CTR brakes are already fantastic. So is the entire suspension setup.

Besides being an even bigger theft magnet, I'm not sure how much more superior this version will be, besides churning out extra horsepower.

I don’t think I’ll have to pay any markup. I have a very close family friend that owes me a favor. She happens to own several Honda dealers as well as a large network of other brand dealerships. But you’re right, if she can’t pull through then I’ll just get a normal one.

It’s probably going to be a cosmetic refresh with no power added.

Yeah, that kind of flips the tables if that is the case. If it comes at more or less the same price, then by all means, jump on that shit as fast as possible :D But to pretty much anyone else... shiiiiet.

Has this mystery trim been confirmed for North America? Honda is very tight with their best models- the best ones were always being left for JDM land only. Or Europe, with North America getting the bone all too often. :nono:

I think it would sell in NA though. CTR sales in general seem steady in NA, so the demand seems to be there.
