Anyone know about the DC5 ITR or EP3 CTR coming to US.
Trending Topics
It's not going to end.
There should be a sticky thread at the top that's labeled "USDM DC5R/EP3R release date" and inside it saying, "Unannounced."
I know this topic has been beaten up too but you can't blame the thread starter. If you search "DC5R" recent topics, you get nothing. If you searched archived threads, there was actually one knowledgable thread that leads to the ITR forums.
In fact, if you search "DC5R" archived threads you'll find a lot of ****.

What makes you think it will be so soon? I know the times are different than they were in the mid 90's but i mean, does Honda see the market to bring the ITR here? If anything i would think that they see the success of the STi and the EVO 8, and say that it would be a lose not to bring it over because honda/acura is soo popular and the aftermarket is bigger.
Who knows!
Cross your fingers.

Rumor has it that Honda is planning an FP package for the EP3 as well. I swear, if Honda starts selling a $5000 FP kit for the Si I am going to start my own hatemail campaign to American Honda. Matter of fact I might start with the RSX FP and expand it when the Si FP comes out.
Unfortunately it looks like the CTR won't be here this fall. Honda dealers just received their 2004 model sheet and it includes the S2000 getting a displacement bump and a new color, but no other changes to the lineup. Maybe it'll come as a 2004.5, or maybe Honda is just being tight-lipped but its not looking good thus far.
The Acura model sheet has not arrived yet so there's still hope for the DC5R, but I'm beginning to lose faith. AHM has proved itself to be dumber than I had thought on so many occasions that I'm not getting my hopes up anymore.

I did a lot of research cause I really wanted to get the DC5 ITR, I even ended up contacting honda of canada, and I got the number to Honda of Japan, but so far everyone I've asked, including dealers, said that the DC5 ITR, isn't going to come here, and they told me it's because of cost, but the CTR will be coming here, but they don't really know when. I'm guessing 2004, but this is all from what I've heard and researched.
