this is a great deal, everyone should grab one of these if you have the Type R. My buddy's is300 also had a watch available to purchase and those watches are worth quite a fortune now (i think like 2-3k?)

What's with all these cars being treated like they're supercars or something.

So dumb..

All manufacturers can act like Richmond dealerships have been for years now...

Try to ask for anything or demand anything... fuck you, someone else will walk up with a suitcase of cash...

It's pretty brutal. I know my buddy is trying to grab a GT3 in Alberta and the sales guy literally laughed at him on the phone told him if he doesn't have another GT car forget it. Yah okay sure, but what's with the arrogance... it's still customer with a 1/4 million dollars+++ he wants to spend on your product asshole. Figure something out.

They'll be the first ones crying when things dry up saying there's no more business. You never want to piss people off to the point they won't buy from you anymore just on principle.

Much like the luxury watch market, if you want to skip the wait go straight to Germany and buy it. Pretty sure you don’t need a purchase history to get that gt3. You just need a friend who speaks German and can talk efficiently with the Porsche dealer.

One is so over the top and one is pretty plain. Maybe the next gen will be perfect?

i still think the old one looks better. it has wayyy more presence and its authentically japanese in the styling department (looks like a gundam)

The new one is so bland. Looks like they just added a wing to a civic LX

I’ve seen modded ones I quite like. Cho’s car and lonnngs old car are both awesome. The car is way too aggressive for stock wheels and stance and all that though imo.
I think the new one will be pretty good with some tweaks. I’m still just here for the DC2 though.

The old one looks cooler but the new one looks more cohesive. The interior on the new one is a huge upgrade though.

That new wing looks like an afterthought. Yarg. Why Honda why.

It looks like an aftermarket tacked on GT wing. And I also hate the modern trend of just making the wing entirely black. At least the 10th gen, the sides were body colour, and only the middle part was black.

If you look at the first pic I posted where you see the cars from the front, the black wing is basically camouflaged into the black car behind. It's all about silhouettes. Under any dark backdrop, the wing is going to "disappear" and it'll look like the car has no wing.

Under regular driving conditions, if you're following a FK8 from behind, it's pretty hard to see that it has a wing as well.

I don't mind the wing being black in the middle portion as much. From the rear, it doesn't really affect the outline whether it's seen or not. It's black on black, where glass on a car usually looks darker under most conditions, esp with tint.


I can elaborate a bit more on why I hate that trend of just making things black (in a poor attempt to make things look more "sporty").

Spoiler!

Overall agree with your analysis, except the WRX still looks like poo with painted arches
