There is a thread over on the Civic forum that has many dealers listed, some are not charging a markup. Go over there and take a look. One good thing about the CTR is that it might drive down prices for the Twin. Win-win for customers!

Do they give you a 20" spare wheel too?

It won't last long assuming supply is not artificially constrained to keep the markup in play.
I'd rock a Type R. Can't justify the cost, heck I'm having a hard time justifying keeping the FRS.

Is this not proof that there is pent up demand for a new (true) Honda performance car? In other words, an S2000 successor?

Some folks are willing to pay the stupid tax to be first on the block. Dealers might as well take advantage of it.

I think the problem with the original S2000 was nobody was willing to pay $32k for 240 torqueless hp back in 2000. The torque issue is solved by using a turbo in the new S2000, but are people willing to pay $40-45k for 340 hp today? Not sure...

Definitely a lot of speculation, but we've also gotta remember that one is a 4dr hatchback, while the other is a 2-seat roadster. Naturally, the 4dr will be more practical of an all around car than a roadster. More people will be able to use the CTR as a day to day vehicle than a S2K successor

I agree with you, besides with the way things are going. This might be one of the last "fun" performance-oriented sedan, manufacturer are moving into CUV and cars aren't selling as well. Soon it will just all be electric and performance SUV. : (
