I feel like the people that want a manual are also the type of people that want non-mainstream colors. Who does their marketing?

So F’ing frustrating.

Great review.

McLaren F1, Ferrari F40, Ferrari GTO (original and 288) come to mind.

Who decided that Teslas are luxury cars?  Just because something is expensive doesn’t mean it’s well made, or luxurious.  (has anyone looked inside one recently?)

I really wish they’d return to 100% ICE engines that don’t sound like complete ass. Sadly both seem like pipe dreams.

No doubt this is way more fun to drive than any Ferrari currently on sale.

You save weight with a smaller car.  2 doors, not 4.  If the Civic is too big then apply the Type R treatment to the Fit.  Oh wait, they canceled that...

No, I’m not seeing it. The Type R needs to be a 2 door. And there’s no defending that, they didn’t switch to a 4 door because its better for performance. They switched because they wanted to save money on R&D.

This looks way better than the FK8 current model, but still a 4 door so no thanks.

I detest the 10th gen Civic in general. The CTR’s visual aids (functional ones) I actually don’t mind at all. From a distance it has the stance of a CUV (same as the Civic hatchback). I’m a traditionalist in the sense that the Type R version of anything should be the lightest option, not the heaviest. Shouldn’t have 4…

It is a problem, when the coupe version of a model doesn’t look like anything special (compared to the sedan).

Rare...because nobody wanted them.  And despite their rarity today on the used market, still worth less than the 2 doors.  Again, because nobody wants them.

SUVs are far from cool these days. Everyone’s parents and grandparents drives them.

Just the ITR. As to the bloated CTR currently available, no I haven’t - I avoid ugly vehicles. It could levitate above the ground, I wouldn’t care.

Wow, I don’t consider that car’s ride to be remotely harsh.  Then again I don’t live in DelMarVa (though I’ve traveled extensively through there and don’t consider the roads bad by any definition).

I mean the Model 3's computers do the driving for you (torque vectoring) so in my eyes it’s basically the computer competing at the autoxes.

I dismissed the 10th generation right from the beginning, because its so ugly I just wouldn’t ever consider owning one. And the practicality of FWD mixed with a coupe’s (small trunk opening) impracticality isn’t a good mix. Either go full practical (with the sedan) or go all in on sports (buy a BRZ instead).

And yet, sales of the 2nd and 3rd gen Integras were basically 95% coupes, because nobody wanted the sedans.

The 4 door Civic is already too heavy for anything FWD that I’d consider “sports oriented”.

The 2 door liftback Integra I owned for 20 years had more than enough practicality for 80% of the buying public in the US.  People have been brainwashed into thinking they need a 4500 lb 2 box snoozefest to accommodate their (usually boring) lifestyles.
