I heard that the explanation from the Honda engineers about the 4-door civic getting the "type-r" and "mugen" treatment is because apparently they are better around the track due to the improved F/R weight balance compared to the coupe.
Just my opinion.

The Civic has the advantage of not losing rear wheel traction being front wheel drive plus the front wheel drive having a shorter drivetrain so less power is lost through the drivetrain .

yup your right. We have ours in the showroom at crown honda. I also heard one of the local dealers had thiers marked up 15,000. Did you guys have any missing pieces, we're missing the badge in front of the shifter.

we're thinking someone from the shipping company stole it due to fingernail marks on the plastic where it should be located. But the factory is suppose to be shipping a new one. I was disappointed that they didn't have some sort of number plate.

... actually my car is better at autocross in the coupe cuz the 2" shorter wheel base the first gen coupes have (2nd and 3rd gen are all the same as my car)
