There's zero torque steer in stock form, so no need to worry about getting plowed by a Type R...hell I'd be more scared of regular Civics considering the demographic that buys them.

Or Corollas.

you can always put your name down and put a deposit.
i had my name since MAY, and i am #6.

a dealer will get 1 or 2, so #6 is 2018/ 2019

VR6GTI 07-06-2017 10:01 AM

Anyone think the new ctr's are going to get stolen and stripped for their engines like the itr's did?

Hehe 07-06-2017 06:00 PM

IMHO, Honda should come out and deal with all the craze before everything goes too far. They are not like Ferrari or Lambo who don't mid the "exotic" status. CTR is a car to bring that performance image back to Honda, not making it exotic.

They should man up and do like Dodge is doing with Demon, dealers could sell at over MSRP if they want, but they would get the last allocation while dealers selling at MSRP would get priority.

Just spotted a black one going down Patterson, still had all the plastic wrap and the foam on it.

Someone going for a joy ride?

I guess that's Open Road Honda's first delivery since that is the closest dealer in the area.

no

because immobilizer

and these parts will be so specific it's a dead giveaway they are stolen...in the old days you could probably try to say it's from Japan and no one would bat an eye

and with old B-series era parts it could fit on so many models, preludes, civics, accords, etc

i believe these parts will have a much narrow spectrum of models they'll be able fit on

i don't think they honestly give a shit

a type R is a halo product, like NSX
it's meant to sell more Civics, not build more limited runs of the track-oriented cars..i don't think it was meant to be accessible to the guy looking at the Honda HR-V then sees the CTR and wants to upgrade

and bad PR is still PR

twitchyzero 07-07-2017 12:10 AM

also remember the DC2 ITR was a loss leader

at 33k, wouldn't surprise me if they're losing money again or breaking-even..the money they dumped into making it the FWD 'ring leader took quite a few years. I remember reading about it back in 2011-ish

they'll probably try to stick a detuned version of the K-engine into an Accord coupe or something...oh god maybe a 2-door Acura, please do that

inv4zn 07-07-2017 12:16 AM

^It's already confirmed the 2.0T from the R will be the next powerplant for the 10th gen Accord.

Badhobz 07-07-2017 06:31 AM

WTF the ITR was a loss leader?! wow. That thing didnt even have A/C how the hell do they lose money on it?
