Not up to date on car news anymore. But isn't this 2017 Civic R already in production? I've seen a few them back in August in red and black already (in Hong Kong). Just not this brushed aluminum wrap.

TL;DW:
- 1.5L turbo
- LSD
- lighter and more rigid chassis
- adaptive steering and suspension
- optional brakes and HFP wheel package (no more machined face, black inners )
- looks like it has different bumpers, wing, center exhaust
NOT a detuned Type R engine

No pricing announced yet, but expected to be in mid-30k range.
Why does Honda insist on using black paint to mask their body lines? Why not make the lines nice the right way? Same thing on the NSX, black paint to hide its ugly beak.
so 30k for a sport, 40k for a si, and 50k for an type R!?!??! holy jebus. THats a pricey civic.
Whats the 0-60 times for the SI and the Type R suppose to be?
Not that I disagree with you on pricing, but I bet it will be priced in Canada between the STi and the Focus RS. So probably high 40s. Focus RS goes for 46k with incentives.
The Type R has about 300 HP but it also weighs 2800 pounds. About 600 pounds less than the Focus RS. I am interested in actual performance times too! What an exciting time to be a car guy! I seen the Type R in person and it looked much better and more boy racer.
i don't mind the front end... I think it actually looks nice... but too rice for my age??? FUUU I am getting old...
lol.. the rear with the tripe tail pipes though.... I mean damn.... can you at least make it the same size like the 458? ... the OCD in me just gets bothered to no end...

I think you have to be a die-hard Honda fan to get this...
But last time I checked the Focus RS was selling for 52K + taxes at Key West Ford (the dealer mark up... I know), and that is me sitting down, talking numbers and took it to a good 20min test drive, put like 6KM on that thing lol... odo went from 27KM to 33KM when I was done with it... just for perspective, a base 5.0 GT is at 39K, a decently spec'ed with all the performance packages comes to like 47K and that is still undercutting the RS by 5000... yaya I know one is a 2 door rwd coupe, the other is a 4 door hatchback... but I am shopping as a second car anyways, my wife didn't give me a limit...
Went to Open Road VW afterwords, didn't get a test drive, but spec'ed out a Gold R with a sales rep and came out at 48K + taxes...
seriously though... if this is north of 50K like the RS is right now, they are going to lose alot of the market share on pricing alone...
And as mentioned... all those are AWD... the Type-R will have to be pretty special. My only hope is that Honda got the integra Type-R so right.. so maybe it could be an ace in the hole...
Personally, can never rock this look at my age lol... I would be ashamed to bring it to site checks to meet my clients with it hahaha

This is such a true, hard reality for those who can responsibly afford this. The If you look at the CTR's competitors, the STI still rocks a giant wing, but at least the rest of the car looks sufficiently mature. The Focus RS looks aggressive, but the body lines are still clean and simple. The Golf R is downright buttoned down German handsome. And then we have this FK8 CTR... I mean, it's fine that we all have a wild side, but if you are a late 30's up to early 50's professional, there are gonna be... quite a number of situations where showing up with this FK8 is gonna look... inappropriate.

There is a $4,500 incentive on 2016 Focus RS. Or at least here in Ontario. There is no reason to pay a mark up on a Ford. Even the GT350s here in Ontario go for under MSRP http://kennedyford.ca/mustang/
Maybe I'm old and yearning for simpler times, but I find the appearance of this new type r offensive. This car should be post-op, not pre-op. It would make sense if this car started as a base civic, driven for 10 years, then sold to some high school kid who thinks his new race car needed an ebay body kit.
This ek makes sense to me. It isn't beautiful but it had clean purposeful lines. The new one is screaming to the world, seeking its attention. The older stuff just casually hints that it had something special.
