I like how people are like "it's still a civic and i'm not paying 30k for it". Ok, I guess an ITR was not just a civic either but seriously, if Honda were to rebadge the new CTR as an Acura and as a replacement for the RSX, I bet people would be more than willing to pay 30k for it seeing as how ppl were paying ~25+ for a new RSX and for the ITR back then.

Take the Lexus IS300 for example, Europe and Japan been had that under the name Toyota Altezza/IS200. Yet, it came to America known as a "Lexus" with a n/a supra engine and people were willing to fork over well over 30k+ for it. Like dcteg2006 said, it's a race inspire version of the civic, it's not just a civic. If people were willing to pay like 25+ for a an ITR or a RSX, why not this car? I'm sure Honda's engineers have elevated throughout the year and it's faster than the ITR and the RSX?


IMO, the title "Civic" is just a name. This car isn't your eg/ek.. e..w/e/t/f. Different chassis from the previous models, so why not consider it a whole different car and not be prejudice based on the badging.
