About your "mostly off topic", I don't really see this as a problem with Honda, something like this could happen anywhere. I think this is more a problem with the middle man between Honda and the customer, which you have explained. Why is Honda going to trust just about anyone and replace things when there is possibly evidence of tampering true or not.

You are probably right that Honda is selling these cars to people that aren't historically Type-R fans. As in basically every other way, Honda is trying their best to become as boring as Toyota is in the US. $$ over anything else. But hey, I appreciate that as a shareholder.

And as unfortunate as it may be, what sells is what we're going to get, as an enthusiast, I don't like this, but the current CTR meets my needs, mostly. I would like to have a more hardcore, lighter, smaller CTR, but beggars can't be choosers. Delete the tech in the car, give me basic bluetooth and that's it, make it a 2dr 2+2 like old days, make it light and lower the roof line a bit, keep some of the current look (ie front end, edges very edgy me like, big wing, etc)...

No word on M/T availability. Did they go all in on CVT's?

I think it all is an improvement. I think I still like the Accord more, but I dig the new interior and sharp, toned-down exterior.

This is ugly, boring. Looks like a Jetta/Elantra mix.
There is still hope for the hatch sport/si/Type R.

Honestly, in the pictures it looks like it should just be another Accord. Nothing about it screams sporty which is depressing. It's just so average.
