I like the front but the rear is just awful to me. The interior is really nice though and quite a few guys around me have them and love driving it. I will say for sub $30k its a pretty tempting car. I am still leaning towards a Golf R personally but waiting to see what the next gen of that looks like.

According to the Acura dealership webcast leak, there's a new "compact sedan" Type S coming out by 2022. Perhaps that will be a "grown up" CTR under an Acura badge?

Funny that your theory (which should make sense) seems to be the opposite of the results of this thread - I'm 26 now and find it hideous haha. I want to love it but the exterior hasn't grown on me since I first saw one in 2017.

Love the simplicity of the JDM FD2 CTR's - wish the current one looked a bit more like it.

and that is what makes it unique! Too many mundane cars out there these days. It is fun to drive though. With that being said I really want a widebody chally or a gt350 too lol.

I own a challenger and 350r. Both are far more interesting cars in my opinion. Neither has fake vents.
