Look at the MPS3... yeah a turbo... but still... honda would be lucky to sell any of them in OZ....

People want performance AND looks... not just LOOKS and no go...

You answered yourself. the MPS3 is a turbo. So why are you comparing the kW it produces against the Civic R. Mazda could never out-engineer Honda on a even basis.

But at the end of the day its a stupid argument. The MPS and the Civic type R are V4 hatchbacks that cost above $40,000. Youd have to be a fool to buy one.

CTRs are I4. They are not in a V-configuration.

**NightRyder** · 04-03-2007 08:22 PM

Ahh..my bad...

All this bitching about what the CTR should or should not have is all a waste of time...we should be happy that Honda is bringing them in..

Although performance wise it might be questionable to some, still I think it is pretty good...
At the end of the day we all should be glad that it's coming down under and only way to really judge and make your own opinions, is to take it for a test drive.

Just relax yo!....

I reckon I'm happy. We were pretty shocked that Honda said "no" to anymore sports cars and here they are showing that the Type R is still alive. Price-wise, it's similar to the GTI while probably giving better handling and comfort. I'm happy. Too bad I already have my Euro.

my favourite part modifying the new CTR will be fun

**NightRyder** · 04-03-2007 09:03 PM

Now see!...there's one happy chap.
