Honda was even doing a collab with Evangelion, I'm not sure how far it went though. It's clear they know who they are selling to, and it ain't many people on this forum.

Huh? I'm a HUGE Type-R fan in general and have been involved with them since 1997. I've tracked and raced several, including tracking CTRs (with the heater on full blast of course). I still own one of the more hated Type-R's around.

I am one of the people involved in the Type-R Club of America. So I am squarely in the demo for the CTR. If I wanted one I could have bought one in 2017 for MSRP. In hindsight I should have just to use a car for a year and sell it used for basically MSRP - it would have been a solid financial move. However my Focus RS at the time was a better car in my opinion so I didn't buy the CTR. I was willing to put up with it's fugly looks if it delivered on the driving experience I wanted. It didn't, so I didn't.

Mostly off topic but Honda also mostly lost me as a customer because they treated a good friend with a 17 CTR like shit and blocked all warranty coverage on the powertrain.. on a STOCK CAR. Because they said the car was modified because their mechanics dirty handprints where on the ECU.. they claimed it was tuned. Normally I'd believe Honda but in this case I knew 100% that the car was stock. Eventually Honda took the car, replaced the ECU at the owners cost, drive the car for a day.. and had it fail the exact same way it was doing before. They finally listened to the owner that it was obviously the wiring harness fault. To this day that car throws a flag when any dealer scans it that they have to contact Honda before performing warranty work.. again on a STOCK CAR.
