ROFL about the typical "you haven't been here long enough to talk back" response.

I have been here long enough to see the auto nut-swinger "FWD sucks" as one of the first posts any time something about a FWD car gets posted up in this forum. I have also been here long enough to know not to argue with the fan boys...

There isn't a chance in hell of this car coming to the US.

Which we should have gotten in 2002 as the 7th-gen Honda Accord.

Same line of thought for me... looks like a "ball". One fast ball, though.

they need to put that R&D into something people will actually want to drive. imo, you shouldn't tweak any run of the mill car simply to suit/capture car enthusiasts. if you're going to do it, do it right. it's almost frustrating to see haha

Nissan should bring back a small, RWD, inline 4 or 6 cylinder model...something with a great suspension that weighs about 2,700lbs

I've basically written Honda off, since they no longer have a car I care about

without tweaking run of the mill cars we wouldnt have things like the itr, evo, sti, supra, ae86, gtr, m3, gt350 etc.

Im flying from WI to SC to pick up a bone stock S14 for my brother, there are not many unmolested ones left so i had to jump at the chance,,,,,sad but this is what enthusiasts have to do.....

I grew bored of hondas, even beside the theft issue, basically everything over the past 5 years is just changing colors of lugnuts and strut braces, nothing mindblowing, atleast with the 240sx you have many different engine swap options etc.....

I still want a k24 ITR but for the 18k it would cost to do it right i could have a 600hp 2jz 240sx and still have money left over for a few pairs of wheels...

I know everyone is getting down on the FWD Honda here, but the CTR and ITR models were usually always pretty great for what they were. I for one would welcome this car into the fold.

Ford makes a 220hp fwd car and lots of people really give them props. Honda is going to make a 276hp fwd car which is on track to break the Nurburgring record and people here give them a ton of shit for it. Ok...

I think if we had gotten ANY version of the CTR in the last 15 years we might have a different take on this car and what Honda is actually capable of in the fwd world.
