Default Honda is bringing the CTR here

Honda just confirmed they are planning on selling the new Civic TypeR here in the US. Finally we get some turbo technology. Hopefully Honda will get back to it roots and produce a affordable sporty car worth buying. I have a feeling the CTR will be expensive possibly 40k. Time will tell. Let's cross our fingers.

The all-new Civic Concept is ready for its close-up, and debuted at the 2015 New York Auto Show on April 1. As the basis for the entire line of 2016 Civics, the Civic Concept boasts a variety of sporty, aggressive features that will redefine the compact market. This fall, the Sedan—later followed by a Coupe, an Si, a 5-door model, and a new Civic Type-R—will celebrate our take on an advanced, sport-inspired design. Featuring a new turbo-charged engine, the Civic Concept embodies the spirited, game-changing future of the 10th-generation Civic.

Style wise i love it but its a hard sell in the performance dept. The Focus is a strong buy i think. Couch engineers will scoff at the lack of independent rear suspension. What is "R" about the lack of suspension adjust-ability?

It's too late to bring a ctr here. The last great ctr was the ek9 model IMO. I'm a diehard honda guy always have been but I can honestly say I haven't liked a civic since 2000. It's like when jordan won his 2nd 3 peat and came back to play for the Wizards. Should of let it be...

Agreed but this is the first attempt in many years to bring anything to market in the U.S. that's even slightly exciting. Time will tell. The performance so far of the 10th gen CTR is promising

I disagree. The EK9 is sorta the poster child of the jdm invasion of the US. Definitely a great car for its time but the FD2 is awesome.

Btw the type r will be a 2017 model. Supposed to get the same engine as the euro type r just released.
