It's amazing how a few exterior accessories make that car look so much better. That must be one fun *** car to drive. I bet if we ever did see the ctr here it would sell for 25-30k.

I'd rather have the rsx-s! Even if these cars do make it over, the price is going to be outta reach for 99.9% of civic buyers.

For those bashing the new look, I hope your not just basing it off the pictures in the internet.

In person, it isn't *that* bad as I thought it was through pictures. In person, it actually grew on me. And I have seen around 3 of them on the road (white, yellow,white) and the white really got my attention.

I think much like our cars, once we see them natuarally at the street. They will be looking "normal" which would be a good thing.

If one had the money to do it, buy an SI then swap the K20A2 into it, get a gude package or something similar, whatever is available for that engine, then get the body kit and suspension, wheels, steering wheel, seats, emblems, and a 7thgencivic.com sticker, etc. W/O the sticker you probably can get it up to 250 hp, but with the sticker and its nitrous like benefits, you could probably push 400 hp.

Yeah I saw that gallery a while back. I doubt the car would be $25k-30k. That's already luxury car price range. But Honda won't bring it over so there's no reason to argue.

I love the Civic Type R and I like the current SI.

I like most others thought the new styling was awful from the magazines, but after seeing the car upfront in person with bigger wheels, it is really, really nice.

Still too expensive, if the Type R was over here with the same price then to me thats a must buy @ 19,000.

But for the SI there are many alternatives.
