i like the wheel on that. The fron difuser will look hot on red but i dont think u can really see it on a black ctr

The wheels are the Europe only OEM 19" Rage Options
doesn't seem like we are getting them.

Bit of a shame - they look pretty good.

the front difuser would look hot on the silver one as well, especially with aftermarket black wheels...

In the promotional material and specs they say the gear ratios have been adjusted to compensate for the extra weight over the previous typeR. The final drive and/or ratios in the first two gears may make that 0-100 time possible (maybe if Jenson Button was driving it like he does in the promos :P)... it may do worse in the 1/4 mile.

Either way, the styling of the car doesn't appeal.

Kudos to honda Australia for finally brining in the CTR though (even if it isn't the just as ugly JDM equivalent)

Don't really care whether i am the first to get one because better deal > being the first one on the road. I'd probably be more cut if i found out someone got a better deal then me. So i'll wait it out abit for a few months or so when the hype dies down a bit.

The dealer showed me a stock enquiry sheet of some sort and i think he had 8 cars allocated to his yard and 5 people had already put a deposit down one which was me. Now if it was on high demand wouldn't all 8 slots be filled out? The dealer is either full of it or just isn't showing me a more recent version of the sheet.

never expecting to get better deal for just new release car even floor mats:(
i got my civic one day before it officially launched, not even 1 cent price dropped and just got free 3M window tinted:( :( :(

i dunno where you got $39,990 from but i bought mine for $42,990, i'm not the only one but a couple of ppl i've talked to bought it for the same price as me.

After on road costs and everything it'll total bout $46,500.

I should be gettin mine next week.

[This is after i read the posts]

Fcuk QLD ppl are gettin screwed for how much they're paying for the CTR

I think the word "screwed" is the operative word,unfortunately.
