The Honda "I forgot the STI and RS existed when I made my purchase"

>>17490056
with slicks

>>17490518
The Sti uses a 15 year old power train strung to its limits and the RS feels like a rattle can

The STi was factory rice at its peak, until this thing came out

>>17490518
Literally every reviewer ever has said this car is better than the STI and RS. I wouldn't buy either of them now that this car is out (not that I'm going to buy this car). But everything is objectively better about this car. It's faster (now that the numbers are out), handles better, breaks better, better interior, better reliability, better ride, better tech, better price, etc. It basically BTFO'd the competition until the next STI or RS comes out.

>>17489228
the r stands for reeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

>>17490001
It looks nice in red. The rice accents don't stand out. underrated color

>>17489248
>no more glorious NA Honda sound
Why bother waking up in the morning

>>17490640
> new car
> better reliability
are you a wizard?

>>17490066
>we want the WRX audience

>>17490673
It's Honda and it's a 3100lb FWD based on a model that's already out. Not much can go wrong aside from the unproven engine. STI and RS already have a crop of documented issues.

>>17489316
It is a hatch

>>17489228
I can't even fucking get this car if I wanted to. Markups are still $10k-$20k across the country. I hope prices settle down in a few months so I can actually consider this car seriously. Beta-ass nips need to stand up for their brand and put their foot down on sleazy western dealerships charging stupid markup over a car that is eventually going to be mass-produced anyway. Seriously they already said they were going to produce 6000 just for the US by March next year, why haven't the dealerships gotten the fucking message.

>>17490732

Dealer near me wanted around $48k for one of these things before tax.

What the fuck are they trying to compete with?

>>17490759
Rich chinese folks. Maybe international students with lambo money or asian ricer kids who grew up and became doctors or whatever. All the cars in SoCal are being bought up immediately for $25k over including "accessories." Lines are 10+ long. People don't give a shit that it's M2 or Cayman money because they probably already have those cars.

4.9 SECONDS

HONDA HATERS BTFO

>>17489228

Is the wing functional?

>>17490696

Same engine as the previous gen Type R, which had zero issues.

>>17490640
>wrong wheel drive
>better

>>17491472
>Honda makes a performance car with a mechanical handicap
>still better than its competitors despite handicap

Are Ford, Subaru, and VW even trying?

>>17491279
yes, ctr is apparently the only car in its class that has actual downforce from the wing

>>17491567
For the kid market that can't afford the car? No.

>>17491279
Which one?

>>17492416
All those kids that jacked off to 90s Hondas are adults now with jobs that pay them well enough to buy this thing even with the ridiculous dealer markups
