    yeah of course that's the initial reason stemming from the 70s culture of cheap fuel, but then it grew into 'North Americans must generally love large engines no matter how many cylinders are involved.'

    I'm sure it's why Nissan shoved a large displacement 2.4L N/A 4 cylinder truck engine into the domestic S-chassis for North America only... for 8 years straight .

    Hopefully with all the increased activity in hot hatches here in North America Honda will throw us a bone and release this here.

    I actually think it looks really good. I hope they make it sound like a proper vtec honda also.

    I think that chance of NA getting this car zip! lol. It is a great car, but does NA really want a euro styled civic hatch performance car? I dont think so. Honda can swap the power train to the current gen or next gen SI but this would require development since it is a different car. This leads me to believe we wont even be seeing this engine in NA... Sadly.

    Honda should bring the CTR to North America. I don't really understand why they wouldn't...

    I was thinking in the next accord, but the honda v6 is just so good still. I can see it going for another generation lol.

    280 HP, under 8 minute ring time.. The longer I look at this car the more I want one.

    It's the hot hatch North America deserves but doesn't need...

    Cause no one will buy it.

    Same reason the A3 is now a sedan and not a hatch.

    Same reason we got the cla class and not the a class.

    They'd probably steal sales from STI, Golf-R/GTi, Fiesta/Focus ST and other boy ricer cars.

    Hell, if Honda released the Type-R in North America I'd be at the dealership with my Mugen foam finger and a large down payment to get one of the first Championship White models.

    lol
    there are quite a few people that would join you im sure. But after the first rush of fanboys how will it sell? I would imagine it to be atleast 40k. This is just way to expensive for a front drive car. No one would buy it

    You're right I think.

    I'd like to see this car here, really, but as I've said before take the motor and detune it to 250 hp. Throw it In a coupe and call it the SiR.

    Sell it a couple grand under a GTI or ST and people will buy it!

    Then release the new roadster chassis with the 280hp engine.

    I have never owned a hatchback before but Id assume that its hard to see anything out the back window?
    From the angle of that picture it looks like it has the same rear window angle as a bmw x6

    Hard to say in person. I have an old school crx with the weird back window design, yet can see out of the back just fine

    It would be a fun car if it came to North America. It's funny, people they won't sell enough of them......well, they sell a hell of a lot more then the crz, and that's on the road here

    Don't worry, the only thing people remember about the CRZ is that it's garbage.

    That'd be a pretty boring video if you didn't mention pushing R, lol.

    The exhaust in the tunnel was sweet.

    They're certainly big, but I don't know if they are the BEST I've tasted.
