its funnie how people can think that 20k is too much for a civic but would buy a 32k lancer. im not saying you but in general

 

Bah, I don't buy based on nameplate or anything. I test drove a Benz C Coupe yesterday, and it was the slowest piece of crap poser car I've ever driven. 26 grand for no leather, no cd, no nothing. But you know people will buy them because of the 3 pointed star.

 

haha, about no CD, that apply to most of their cars. Even their E class have no CD, it's an option. My GF's C240 doesn't have CD either. I think the electrical engineer @ Mercedes is still stuck in the 80s w/ tape... hehe.

 

mercedes and some other mfgrs play games (lower msrp compared to more loaded competition but when the options are added in it creeps up the price)...the c240 (when it had the supercharged 4 cylinder's last review i read compared the engine to a tractor...that was priceless)

i personally love the way the ctr looks...if honda sold it here last year i'd get that instead of the protege5...now i'm going to be steaming mad if they do bring it over b/c i would have waited

 

It's true.

 

c240 never had a supercharger. it was always the C230 (2.3L in the old engine, 1.8L in 2002 and up).

but you are right MB is notorious for doing that as well as Lexus.

 

I subtracted another 1K to bring the price closer to 1K. Honestly I don't know if Honda will find enough enthusiasts to sell that many CTR to make it profit about at above 20K.

Most people (under 18-22) who know about the car wont be able to afford it on their own. The parents might have the same reaction mentioned somewhere about paying 20K for a Civic.

 

i mixed it up with the clk kompressor roadster that was s/c'd...thanks for clearing that up

 

that will be the only downside of it is that everyone will start buying them and then hey its just another car nothing special

if they do bring it over i think it should be a limited production

 

slk. no such thing as a clk kompressor roadster

slk 230K shares the same engine with the C230K coupe
