I'm sure it's a fantastic car. It's just not one I want. I want rotation under power, not because of a loose rear.

I'm looking to get a Fiat 500E. It understeers hilariously.

I totally get that, and RWD has a balance and cornering feel nothing else can match. That being said, the CTR is legitimately fast, like no FWD car should be that fast. Again, it all comes down to want you want in a car. I’m not concerned about setting the fastest HPDA lap times, I want a car I connect with.

My experience driving a Fiat 500 Abarth was 100% smiles and laughter, so I say go for any of the Fiat 500 models.

If they ever released a stripped down version, it would never see America.

Sad but true And I think it would be a good seller for Honda. I know the styling has kept many people away, despite how great a car it is. Just look at how nice and clean the 1st-4th gen CTRs look. And bring back the white wheels.

230 HP, Targa top

The twins will never see 300hp, unless it’s done aftermarket

8000rpm or higher redline! I wanted this so badly especially when that yellow gto gives you the point by but does not let off the gas(or maybe he did?)!

We will for sure get a new special color and some added comfort features. I see a VIP package coming:

- Seafoam green exterior with classy periwinkle blue accents
- Driver facing camera so we can live stream while driving
- Vape chargers in center console, one for driver and each passenger
- Ash trays, 6 of them
- Bench seats in front and rear for more passengers
- Driverless feature so we can get some sleep at the track
- Rear brakes are drum to keep costs down
- Make it a hatch so Grandma can fit her wheelchair back there
- Plaid removable vinyl seat covers so when the kids drop ice cream all over them
