I'm so glad I put money down last year on one of these as the launch edition with CF roof looks like the one to get.

This is the first car I've seen in a long time that I'm disappointed I will probably miss out on.

I’ve owned 4 Germans out of warranty. Did no repairs on any of them. Probably was pushing my luck.

I know my C63 has transmission problems soon after the next owner got it. $12k in cost for certified pre owned warranty company.

It’s a roll of the dice.

Im hoping a bmw b58 / zf8 speed is at least one solid combo I won't have to have too many concerns about

I put my name on the list this morning, just waiting for them to call for the deposit.

I already broke the news to the wife that we might need to replace my daily with a sensible 4dr Corolla hatchback.

Need to do something about that honeycomb black lower grill insert. It's the only thing detracting me from the car thus far.

[Pauly Boy]

Looks pretty good. Need that price though.

I'm on the South Pointe list - Let's hope I can get out the door for under $50k

[Buster]

good for you guys for actually pulling the trigger.

I think you're going to be really happy with this car.

This car looks sweet. I wonder if it will do the Civic Type R LE appreciation... maybe need to wait for the special edition

Depends on how they price it.

This car is 100x more desirable than the CTR, IMO.

I’m excited. The fiancé is on board even though she won’t drive it. She’s going to take my bmw most likely and this may or may not replace my FRS.

Definitely. I wonder what a monster the CTR would have been if they slapped some decent AWD on it. Even as boy racer as it looks, I still like em.

I'd like to go more upscale, but everything else is so damn boring & since I still need 4 doors for the immediate future until the kids are older... This fits the bill and ticks all my boxes - Manual, 250hp+, AWD, hatch/wagon. Assuming the price is right, let's hope I get one, there's like 10 people in front of me, lol.

[ragu]

Same here. 10 ahead of me. This will be perfect add to Evo X for winter daily.

Yes - this is the problem with CTR. In our climate it is civic for 6 months of the year, and for the other 6 months there are better replacements.



What do you think starting price would be? I'm guessing $40-45k. Right in between GR86 and Supra. This can't go to Supra pricing...

Fiesta front leg room: 42.2”
Corolla front leg room: 42.0”
Fiesta rear leg room: 31.2”
Corolla rear leg room: 29.9”

Good luck fitting anything in these rear seats.

Problem solved.

[killramos]

It’s so simple!

Well, definitely questioning the Golf R deposit. Not that I would actually get either one in the next year and a half anyway.

No question required. This is a more desirable car than the golf R in every respect

As long as it doesn’t eat turbos like the new tundra

The faster it eats a turbo, the faster it gets a bigger, better turbo.

I am really liking the looks of this thing. And if it has the same driving dynamics of the Yaris GR I imagine it will be really fun. Surprised they managed to hit the 300hp mark from a 1.6L 3Cyl that is pretty awesome. Only thing im thinking of is how will the boost lag be on that motor especially in Calgary elevation. Probably wont have full boost till 3500 at least.
