I'll never replace the wagon with a truck, if I gotta commute back into the city one day I'll be fucked. The only thing the Colorado diesel will replace is my S10 ZR2.

I'll drive me wagon until the wheels fall off.

When the DC2 ITR were in production, did they sell out like hot cake?
It was a $40K car after taxes, no?

In 2001 the final production year, did some dealerships stuck with unsold unit carrying into 2002 when the RSX was released?

that's way before my time here, but from what i know i believe honda (acura) had an allotment of cars they could bring in from JPN (way less than the USA as usual) and i believe certain years it sold out...but not all.

eventually they did all sell as 'new' though, but i doubt many dealers gave much discount off MSRP. no idea if there were any units carried over...doubt many. Canada's numbers for the car were quite limited. i believe 98-01 the price stayed the same, if not very close...$29k - $29,999 was the range i think, i'm quite sure it did not run you $40k even after tax+freight/pdi, no.

i talked with the a vp (now the current president) here about them a couple of years ago...he said they were in very high demand at the time. the market was strong at first, then i beleive there was another market down-turn nearing the end of the production run...so less money in ppl's pockets to spend.

a cool little tidbit he mentioned though - new R customers would get a special "key presentation" at the dlr with it being in a box or something like that (i think he mentioned a certificate of some sort as well, with the car's ID# o n it). it'd be fun to know if anyone knows someone who actually bought one new off the lot who could vouch, lol. oh, and also a friendly reminder to run 91+ octane only

dude is that 'confirmed' by Honda or just written by the author and his opinion? that article is just hearsay. i know it's still a long shot but let's just say i know there's a push...

that top speed it cray...wow.

a CDM/USDM Si with boost would be nice...and possible if no CTR shows up. otherwise it'll prob end up with a retuned 2.4L......

from guys here who've played with it apparently it's a very nice step fwd vs. the old one and you definitely notice in the drive. fit and finish much nicer too.

i just pray it doesn't have some of the new-car-issues we're seeing say...in some acuras LOL

Sure. My 03 civic is showing its age, and it still drives like a champ. However, the question is - how long can I have the car for? I miss the sound of the turbo spool. If I had a choice w/ the ford or a honda. I'd gladly take a honda reliability over a ford any day of the week.

However, having said that. If it's gonna be well over 55 to 60k+ OTD for a damn civic, I'll laugh.

I'll gladly settle for a detuned 2.4L turbo civic Si if CTR does not come to N.A.

Id buy a CTR over an RS or R too. Even if they were down on performance from the other 2, the Civic looks better and will be 100% reliable. The R looks kinda boring and the RS looks like a hot mess inside and out.

I would pick the Focus RS if I am in the market for an AWD Turbo Hatchback.

The CTR just doesn't do it for me (styling). I rule out the STi until they drop the garbage EJ25 engine.
I do like the Golf R but I said to myself I want a GTD before considering a Golf R

^why no consideration for the bog standard wrx?
that motor is arguably better than the ej25. power delivery makes much more sense for street use! unless the rs/r/r/sti is being bought for track use, i'm not certain that there are clear advantages over the more standard offering.

If you just want power, any turbo car can be made to put down some serious power. even the gti is getting retarded dyno #s (even without a tune!)

i can somewhat attest to this lol...given i see / know all our issues on a daily basis...tbut really it's usually a supplier part deficiency way more than a design flaw \:\) (or honda being cheap lol)...oh and with all the electronic tech b.s. today, software updates are always req'd it seems, fucking annoying.

but overall dude for the amt of cars we sell...still very reliable just like back in the day and over many other brands.

like with anything, advancement in tech means changes to tried and true design...you're going to get hiccups until it's perfected.

I would consider the WRX since it comes with 6 speed and runs on 2.0 motor.

I used to own a STi and the EJ25 is a god damn nightmare and ticking time bomb. Unless Subaru goes back to the 2.0 motor, I am not touching one in a long time. I mean if I get a EJ25, I am stripping it and rebuild all the internal with strong parts with a custom tune. The stock map sucks major ass
