Anyone that paid over MSRP for a Civic is stupid. That's all there is to it. The 2006 models were a great car - game changer, at that time - but not to that level to deserve that kind of markup.

These won't be any different. Someone might try and mark them up but only a fool will pay over MSRP for a basic Civic. Type R? If they limit quantities, sure, I could see them charging over MSRP.

i work for Honda for a very long time, i have never seen a markup on any civic lol. as for the type R if its Limited they i bet it will be over msrp. but if not i cant see it people will just wait it out especially when there are like 5 dealerships per city.

There was only 3 of them within 200 miles of me, so they were slightly rare at first. I did get them to drop the whole 5k plus some extra though.


Ever had a salesman tell you the color of the car doesnt matter because you cant see it when you are driving it? Wow lol i did. Walked right out.

I wonder what car they want to compete with this... the Focus RS/Golf R/STI are all AWD and will most likely perform better in real world scenarios

Except for the fact that they don't perform better?

Did you miss the ring video of the CTR? It's 10 seconds slower than Porche's Cayman GT4 claimed laptime.

I just don't see CTR being 10 sec off GT4 lap times. that's faster than a lot of exotics just from 5 years ago.

It's not my claim, that's just Honda's official time (proven) and Porsche's claim on time for their GT4.

The Civic beats the original GT-R R35's time on the ring as well. This car is fast.
