awd?

Although the Renaultsport Megane 265 was conspicuous by its absence, Honda bosses have stated previously that they aim to topple its Nurburgring lap record for a front-wheel drive car.

first turbo m cars

dafuq is going on hurr

i said m cars...

2002 turbo is not an m

300+ hp FWD

LMFAO

300+ hp FWD

LMFAO

^pricing


and yeah, they for sure have to do some trick diff just like the fucus RS

I doubt NA will get this car.

cream pie - pls say it is coming to NA.

the more steering angle you give it, the faster the ratio becomes

this is probably the best handling stock fwd car i've ever experienced

and easily, EASILY, the best feeling electric power steering rack this side of a 991

Don't doubt you at all on the steering feel.
But isn't that how all variable racks work? It works by having a finer tooth bitch for the beginning, and a larger, coarser tooth pitch towards the end of its travel for a quicker ratio.

And hang on...handles better than ITR? Whaaaaaat?
That is the best handling fwd car I've driven in showroom stock condition...but I have not tried Focus st/Fiesta st...

Im perfectly aware of what a "city" golf is and yes..that could easily be an updated version of that.

The last good looking golf IMO is MK3 XD

Very cool, now we need that exact car with less GTI and more GTD.

I love me some MKIII GTI VR6 Driver Edition

I am in love with the Corrado VR6 too

MK3 a good looking car? Jesus christ The Golf and Jetta both look like they've got downs.

whatever's on the net is pretty good idea (thus far)...and well, we may not miss the boat this time around - nothing concrete yet

we took a 2013 civic si coupe on trade for this week


wat dat vtec light deww

I still want a S2K one day

sooooo...who here would actually buy a 2015/16 CTR...?



"so you're saying there's a chance......"

Meh you will get tired of revving that pos to get it to move.

Meh you will get tired of revving that pos to get it to move.

I'd seriously consider it, but need pricing first. If it's gonna be a 50k civic, I will gladly pass up on that.

If a VW Golf R is $48,000 on the road
Civic Type-R will be similar price range

just got back from honda of amur'ca in ohio for work...man, those places are huuuge (factories), though i was at the office locations with shops attached.

was at the front door of the nsx project location...asked if we can go inside, dude is like ummmmmm...no. (lulz denied...some of the employees look straight out of sons of anarchy)

Yes you will if its still FWD.

lolwut. What's wrong with fwd, and what do you propose honda do? Make a rwd type r? XD XD XD Don't be a drivetrain snob when you drive an auto sedan around town and your "racing" only happen on straight highways XD even one wheel drive can accomplish the same tasks bahahaha.

I still think fwd is fun. Just needs to be setup well, and when it is, it is so easy to drive and rotate on demand. That coupled with low weight and no torque is tons of fun. Lots of gearbox rowing. I'd be excited to see the CTR hit our shores. But as is, I'm excited for the Focus ST. That machine is craaaaaazy. Too bad the interior is fugly.

LMAO, don't kid yourselves. We will NEVER see this.

I dunno, that 2.0L turbo motor in there is a global engine (says Honda).
If Ford brought over Focus/Fiesta ST, why not Honda in their Type R? Similar category of car imo. And I'm seeing a lot of Focus ST's on the road now.

"feels very close to his racing car"

LMFAO GTFO.

what's the point? Just to prove you wrong?

i'll put a pitcher of beer on it.
if hatorade is right i buy him beer.
if c2k is right i buy him beer.
if both are wrong you buy me beer.

to me its more the total over-addition of stuff

wing? too much
flares and scoops and slats? wayyy too much

tiny tires under huge flares? camannnnn

so is this coming here?

Not likely.

Unfortunately, the latest Civic Type R, like its predecessor, won’t be offered in the U.S. as it is based on the Civic platform designed for the rest of the world. The good news is that we may see some of the car's hardware in the next-generation CR-Z.

no faith? /brian earl spilner

lol source? just some random auto news piece? is that from honda worldwide?

lol yeah cause paying $75k cdn for a 1-series M makes so much sense

well should it come, you'll pay more...my guess would be mid 30's? at least you'll get a lot of car for the money performance-wise with hopefully a decent interior lulz. it better have a very good trick front diff...

the 4th gear wheel spinning seems to be a bit of hype more than anything.

The 1M was never $75k. Only idiots paid above MSRP for one. Car was listed under $55k if I remember right.

If this is seriously the best Honda can do nowadays that's really sad. They should just keep tapping into Toyota's market and keep producing the most mundane appliance cars for old folks.

I think you are recalling US prices.
It was 60+ here.

What's funnier is comparing a CTR to a 1M. 1M 2nd hand to this day is selling for more than it originally retailed for. We cannot say the same for any type R variant. 1M was so popular that the global demand pushed BMW's hand at producing more (iirc 2500 world wide?). 1M may be a shit track car out of the box, but for a collector/car guy/not really driving enthusiast, the 1M is in it's own league. Arguably the most collectable BMW within the past 20 years.

I love me some Hondas, but a CTR at 50k is not a very compelling arguement (though it can be argued the same way with the boss mustang being sold at that price too). But to put it differently: At the same price (50k) would one buy a boss mustang or a civic type r? It's hard to argue the sex appeal of v8 rwd + car with 50 years of "heritage" vs a boosted fwd track rat.

Nope, I distinctly recall building one on BMW.ca when it was available.

Where the fuck is screaming? Son I am disappoint.

I saw this today on reddit - you need to turn off adblock to watch the interactive video by honda.

I really am liking the CTR-T. At this rate, it is becoming more unlikely that we'll get it here in N.A.

You won't buy it doe so what are you yammering about?

K well look, the only positive for us getting it still...is i believe an older reference from the 'net stating it was planned as a "global platform"....so not all hope is lost.

Screaming - can you confirm?!

they are actually tuning it for sound yes, esp for when you hit the "R" button

lol at vaporware.

well apparently they are 'aiming' to change direction from luxury back to performance-luxo or at least sportier cars with whatever luxo they have left lol. i know 2016+ doe some good refreshes coming.

Dude I could swear you have been saying that for the 5+ years now lmfao.

All the text you wrote after "lol at vaporware" essentially reinforces that it's vaporware @___@
