Already seeing hatches with unpainted aftermarket wings and type r badging...
Theres one parked on 2nd by Clark everyday, think he works around there. Cant wait till all the "Type Rs" show up to meets and shows FailFish

Yup that's me haha!

6 years down the road once you get bored of the CTR are you going to sell it or sell the S2k?

Saw one on Seymour the other day, looks amazing in person!

just spotted one for the first time on the road in north van

:heckno::heckno::heckno:

I get that they wanted a polarizing look for this car - i hope it grows on me

It probably will, then you can buy that CTR from that asshole on revscene

Saw a black one on the white rock Honda lot yesterday, I love it in person so much more than I thought I would. Big fan.

Also, fuck these guys, isn't everyone's intention on buying a car to keep it you fucking moron. Ruins the next guy in lines chance who honestly wanted the car to enjoy it for what it is. Pisses me off

2017 Type R - $60k

2017 Type R - $59k

Don't worry 99% of these wont actually sell for anything close to asking. With rumours of a more high performance and awd version, wouldn't be surprised if these drop past msrp in next 6-9 months.

i thought there's no profiteering allowed on our forum...mods re-approved his ad after removing the feeler and added a price

unless of course he paid the dealer that much

so is the black one at richmond auto mall owned by one of the workers/managers? Has child seats in the back lol

I agree not something that looks that good to me either. Looks a little to FOB to me. :heckno:

Waiting for that so I can low ball these guys lol jk.

"My intent was to keep the car but am willing to let it go if price is right."

Sounds like those girls who auction off their virginity.

how legit is that rumour of type r coming out with an awd system?

Someone had it on a lift and saw the back had an open tunnel which they think would be where the rear differential would go. Can't remember where I read it but it was a tuner shop in the states. Also apparently at 3k rpm this thing puts out 23psi of boost [emoji54]

I believe it's the sales managers car. You can look at it but he's got all his stuff inside :lawl:

I hate the looks but I like everything else I've seen and read about the car. Therefore, I'd be willing to overlook the gawdy appearance because I don't care all that much about looks in the first place.

i think you read the same article we all did.

SH-AWD Civic Type-R :fuckyea:

Hmm, I don't know man. Too early to say right now! Still in honeymoon with it right now lol.

My guess is that if I were to sell, it would be the CTR. The reason is that Honda isn't going to make another S2000 - a car with a bespoke high revving engine with unique RWD chassis. What I mean is that the car doesn't share any major mechanical components with other cars.

I bought the CTR because I'm a Honda guy and I want something that is decently fast while being practical. The latter is important since I have a baby coming. My S2k isn't going to fit all the baby stuff. With that said, I go in knowing that the CTR isn't built on a unique platform, nor does it use a special bespoke engine. I also expect Honda to keep on making new Type R's so perhaps by the end of 5 or 6 years, I can get another one.

My understanding is that the Civic project leader or some engineer mentioned that they are considering variants for the Civic Type R. The AWD and/or more powerful versions were added by journalists - in other words, those versions are just speculations.

I'm not saying that we won't see a AWD and/or more powerful CTR down the road. But it can also mean an Acura version of the CTR. For instance, perhaps a new ILX with a Type S model that uses a variation of that 2.0T engine + SH-AWD or even Sport Hybrid SH-AWD.

The Civic sits on a new platform that is shared with the new 10th gen Accord. And this platform would most likely be used for the next gen ILX too, which I think would get AWD. That's probably why there's room for a rear diff and what not.

Haha but that's not brand new! That's the 9th gen!

lol i meant zero mileage never used :p

[EDIT] someone just told me on facebook that domestic honda dealers were dumping 9th gen type-r's at auctions in japan because they didn't want unsold inventory before this new one came and exporters were just raking up anything worth getting :eek:

Black looks so much better.

haha
One of the slowest of the bunch.... :sleepingzz:
