Ricers everywhere rejoice. Until they find out this turd costs more than a CTR with massive ADM.

Similar style, but not even close to the same wheel. He inferred there was the same wheel but without centerlocks.

Ah, the 963m looked the same to me as these centerlock wheels other than maybe these look black and the 963m is frozen grey. Or maybe these are frozen grey too, I can't really tell

What happened to BMW where the civic is more desirable than a M2? The marketing and design departments have completely dropped the ball in the last several years.

If the M2 started at 42k, lines would be just as insane. Everything about the M2 is superior.

CTR looks are just as polarizing.

Yep, canards are ridiculous. I’m not sure I’ve seen a single street car with them that wouldn’t look better without them.

If the M2 started at $42k, it would have an N20 under the hood, SensaTec interior, 4-speaker 25 watt cassette deck infotainment, and 17" wheels. Nobody wants that.

Nah, they fixed it for this year. All that crazy crap is gone. Good-looking car now, even adults won't be embarrassed to be seen in it.

Nice car. Would never drift that kind of money in the dirt tho. That's what a WRX is for.

The civic is also a 2.0 liter, down 140 horsepower, and interior nowhere near as nice.

In that context, spending $60k on an M2 versus $42k on a Civic seems reasonable. In terms of the demand for the type R, it probably comes down to $$. Many people can't get to 60-65k for a small coupe but perhaps can stretch to $42k. Plus it's a Honda, will be reliable, and the type R will hold its value so it won't cost much to own.

If you really like RED, the Type R interior is far superior.!

Not arguing that, just stating the G87 is a desirable car and the CTR is helped by its price point.

I love the new CTR. Great looking car.

Sweet! Carbon bits are pricy! But the suspension appears to be only 1550 euros or $1630 USD.
