I'm sure Honda consulted with someone regarding design of the CR, right?

Is this only gonna be sold here? None in Japan?

It really saddens me to think Honda has gone to this level.

If Sochiro Honda were alive today, he would be pissst.

This is an ugly, hideous car. I'd rather just by an AP2 and mod it myself.

This car belongs in the fast and furious. It should not be a production Honda.

This is what Honda does with its only real sports car! SAD! And no engine changes!?

Any Rio or Spa owners out there think the seats would look nice in their cars?

its comments like this that dont make a shred of sense. so Mr. Honda would hate this so much? he only was devoting to racing, and racing tech, so much so he started his career as a race car tech. to me this car is a GIANT step forward for American Honda. Honda of Japan has long be devoted to "sports" while the US has been getting watered down jokes of the models avaliable in Japan.

sure this s2k is BOLD. FUNCTIONAL wing, FUNCTIONAL front bumper cover, but its not as bad as the rest of the "special edition" hondas over the years. if you dont like it thats fine, that your opionion, and i could care less. but this car is far from a flop. did you missing the info about this car being 2 SECONDS faster around the track than the 06 AP2! it may look ricer, which i find hi-larios as so many that have commented on this car and its "ricer" looks are sporting mugen, siebon, J's, GT-SPEC wings themselves. along with other NON-FUNCTIONAL body kits.

i guess all the other cars with "ricer" wings are wastes as well. Evo/STi/911GT3's/E30 M3's/Supras.....ect.

To the POS crowd that have dominated this thread lately: Why don't you sue the a$$ out of AHM, American style, so you can buy a proper car that fulfill your expectations?

Disapointed: OK
Whingeing kindergarten: no thx, you are among grown ups.
Wait are you saying that we can not express our opinion, because it's different from yours?

No one is whining, just expressing their displeasure/disgust/disappointment/etc.

VersionJDM: How much of the 2 second lap difference do you truely put on the body kit?

Those tires are going to make up a HUGE amount of that. I'm all for a track version, and it's what I was expecting/hoping, this isn't it. There's nothing special in this car, nothing that can't be easily reproduced, that's why it's not special.

, its probably mostly due to the new potenzas and the "improved suspension", but still a set in the right direction for us s2k owners that actually take it to the track and not just blvd cruise.

The wing isn't even that horrible. What ruins it for me is the tonneau cover, front lip, yellow stitching, and fake cf dash pieces. I mean, why even make REAL cf dash pieces? They're worthless, and don't need to be on a track car. The suspension and tires seem cool, the wing - well it's alright. They could have really shined here though, with a simpler interior, increased gearing, tuneable suspension, and BBK.
