i just read on a nother web site that honda wasn't bring ctr over cause of the sale of the rsx-s would go down but with the rsx type r coming out they said that honda would bring the type r civic to bring there sales up. they said it should come out around the same time as the rsx-r that fuc#ing great. if that happens i know what i'm going to get

 

What site did you read this on?

post a link...

 

I hope it doesn't look anything like the stupid new Si!!!!

 

It looks exactly like the new SI.

However, I don't think we will see a Type R anything here in the states.

Just the Type S.

 

I doubt they'll bring the CTR over. It would have been announced by now. Those are just baseless rumors.

 

i read this in motor trend so it has to be some what true

 

ummmm i dont think so
they wont bring the CTR over.

 

Have they ever brought the CTR over? No. I don't see why they would start now.

 

i dont think so
maybe the dc-5 R but not the ctr just cuz we are america
also they dont want to have a R civic before they bring over a stronger integ/rsx cuz they dont want a honda civic whooping on their upper divison acura rsx's

 

if you guys don't believe me then go buy the march issue of motor trend and it says it in there that it is caming over here

 

what......an accord.

 

I heard for sure that they were bringing the RSX R over with 220hp. But no CTR. Oh well, its ugly.

 

Was that in the "RUMERS & LIES" section?

 

Do any of you work for the Honda/Acura corporation? Do you /really/ have the 'inside' scoop?
I highly doubt anyone on this board knows when or if the ITR is coming to America. So, why not grab onto your mice and do some more researching kids. You might just find some late breaking news from ClubSi.com!

 

33 posts and you're an authority

Agreed know one really knows and I really doubt that the kids at Club Si know either.....

 

He read it on ClubSi.com. First of all do you believe everything you read or see on TV? Hope not.

It would be stupid for Honda to bring the CTR over hear cause it would kill sales for Acura and the rest of the Honda family. I can see the RTR cause of the history behind the ITR, but never the CTR.

 

you know, completely OT, Soichiro Honda himself could come to this board and get bashed as a stupid newbie because he has 5 posts.

just an observation...

 

I read in Road & Track (new issue pg 24 upper left of the page) the CTR and ITR (RSX-R) while be ariving at our (US) shores with a (next) year, the article also said the where holding bring the R's over till then because Honda was afraid they would take sales away from the RSX who gives a DoEs AnYoNe KnOw WheRe I CaN GeT SoMe StRObE LiTEZ AnD LiGhT uP WiNdShiElD NoZzLeS??, get em over here

Aha! Honda is reading our posts!

I think Honda NEEDS to bring the CTR to the US. There's a grip of new cars that can eat up the SI that's coming out at the end of this month.

I would definitely look into getting a CTR. Especially if it was the JDM-spec version with all the red accents and Recaro seats.

And bring it for $22k. Mmmm. Make mine the white mini-minivan with red interior.

 

HAHAH either way I can't afford it, so i guess it does'nt really matter much for me...and for 22-25K, you can build a better can that a CTR...maybe thats just my opinion

 

It doesnt really matter cuz its phucking ugly dats why

 

i just read this on vtec.net
Just got the latest Motor Trend in the mail yesterday and it had a small news
section confirming that the Civic TYPE R and the RSX Type-R are coming in
about a year. Both will arrive around the same time! If you want to verify
this for yourselves it is in the March 2002 MT on page 24, left hand column
above the Civic Type R pictured! Hope this is helpful!

Thanks,
John Miller

We have already heard about the RSX Type-R coming our way, but there hasn't been much lipservice regarding a Civic Type R making its way here. Frankly, I'm a bit surprised that this info has been "leaked", especially since the first Si hasn't even been sold here yet. This is pure speculation, but perhaps is has something to do with the outcome of the recent Car and Driver "Hottest Hatches" shootout (the SVT Focus won). The Si is a great car by itself, but two of the big shortcomings that stood out in my mind were the somewhat uninspiring (yet still competent) motor and the lack of a limited slip differential. Perhaps the Type R version will address both of these complaints (which I've yet to officially make; for all of those who are awaiting the remainder of the Civic Si review, please accept my apologies. I intend to publipoo poo by Monday, so I can finish writing up my review of the 2002 CR-V).

i told you all that it was coming

He's right, It does state it in new motortrend, whether or not its gonna happen. I think it will.


But why get any R car if the Evolution 7 comes

EbboyPSi Who still will probably get an R car when the si is paid off
