whatup people, i work at billy navarre chevy/honda/hyundai in lake charles, LA, and in the sales meeting this morning i found out that the CIVIC TYPE R is coming to the US as a 2005 model. Just thought i'd share that with all my peoples. I was half asleep in the meeting, but when he said Civic TYPE R, i was like WTF?

 

ACCORD EURO R is what we want....but good looking out.

 

oh shiet.....finally they're bringing ctr to the states....Do you know how much it will be going for? im assuming around 25k?? too much for any type of civic but **** thats some news. GoOd lookin out bro.

 

Nice....

 

this isnt accord related h:

 

Yep...wrong forum

 

1) Dealers know less than us.

2) Check the News and Rumors forum...this is pretty old news and is 50/50. The CTR would greatly overlap with the RSX-S/RSX, so Honda may put the CTR engine in the Si.

 

ctr engine in Si will be more than good enough. main reason why the Si is doing to bad is due to its poor performance. With the ctr motor, i'll just get ctr lip kits, recaros, wheels, etc. and feel the type R motor haul ass.

 

Actually, my problem with the Si is its suspension settings. It is undertired and is way too soft for its class. Look in News and Rumors, there are spy pics of a souped up Civic sitting outside Honda headquarters with an HFP badge on it.

 

Oh no3s another type r is coming to US thread . Truth is we will never know for sure when any type r is coming to the states until honda says so. So in the meantime we just have to buy aftermarket parts and build up our motors and settle with more power than a stock type r motor . A type r in north america.. ill believe it when i see it. No more rumors please. People tend to get too excited. :eekjerk:
