Maybe they don't see the benefit of added weight and lower mpg. I'm curious to see what the RS does on the ring, and how it compares to the current CTR in a head to head, or the Golf R for that matter
AWD platforms drive up the price, increase weight and normally have lower mpg than a FWD platform. Also Honda has been honing their FWD platforms for decades, going AWD for the sake of AWDYO! doesn't make much sense for them.
It sounds like were going to have a 5 door CTR in the future and that is a glorious thing. I've literally been waiting 20 years for this announcement (after the ITR hit our shores) and I'm putting off my decision on the RS and will just wait for the CTR.
It's possible that the RS might be a bit faster, sure. But the interior design and ergonomics of the Civic, the fit and finish, and the overall reliability will be leaps and measures beyond anything VW or Ford can make.
