that excuse sounded really lame to me. the car seems invisible....what about the other white cars then??

I don't know what the cop car's colour there, or the ambulance too.

i can't believe how much of a robot these Honda guys sound...lol
"You better order one now if you want one or you will miss out!"....rofl
typical

they maybe have a script ready before hand or maybe the corporate had guns on their head during the session.. :p

maybe we should point them to this thread instead..

After all that I would feel like a complete bastard buying it

Just get friends to import shit for you from Japan/New Zealand

yeah but the car is 10xxkgs ...

the brakes are classisifed big in the era (1996)

its like saying the b16a isnt a good engine . But in 1989 the power it was making was unheard of from a street mass produce 1.6ltr

As with ALL car manufacturers they will say the products they produce have come about by applying the "best" decisions ----well,according to them anyway and Honda is no exception.
The forum was a good idea but,it seemed like the experts were really pushing the idea that Honda has produced the perfect hot hatch.Honda may have come up with a very good or indeed a great hot hatch but we cannot expect the experts to say anything negative about the CTR.
Listening to them,the CTR has the ideal engine,brakes,suspension,tyres,colour options etc,etc....and oh! ,I forgot,"You better hurry to your dealer, they're running out fast"
Maybe the philosophy of the Type R has been hijacked by the marketing/sales department at Honda.

I guess that is not a wrong thing to like this type r, everyone has different taste, otherwise it would be a damn boring world to live in.
