Doesn't Honda realize that the only people who are not completely repulsed by the styling of this thing can't afford it?
Who is their target market?
Seriously, this has to be one of the ugliest cars ever manufactured.
It looks like it was designed by a 12 year old weeb.

Add four years to the weeb and you have the Civic's driverbase.

I think they can skirt around regulations or laws by making it a passenger car that hold 4 or 5 people with 4 doors + hatch

Disillusioned vapers.

The original Type R were just normal looking civics/accords/integras with minor visual tweaks, enough that car fans know what it is, but normal people won't. The rest is under the hood, where it belongs.

The FK2 Type-R could stand to be smaller but I suppose that's modern car design and shitty safety standards at work. It's less of a hot hatch now and more of a sports compact(?). Whatever the MS3/3 MPS and WRX (STi) are classed as.
The previous gen Jap-exclusive FD2 Type-R was a sedan. They did offer (and export) a FN2 3-door hatch, though.
Some form of forced induction was a necessity for it to remain competitive in that odd clusterfuck of 4cyl sports cars and hot hatches/compacts. Why would anyone look at the Type-R for the price it goes at if it couldn't keep up with something like a VW Golf GTI?

because no one wants shitty volkswagen now fuck off.
How much is it?
