I've been following on the CivicX forum, and right now it's very tough to get one, especially at MSPR. Most dealers are only getting 1 or 2, and many are adding $5-10k mark up, and many cars are already spoken for. Your best bet is to wait until next Spring, unless you want to pay the mark up of course. Same thing happened with the Focus RS - it was crazy for the first 6 months/year because there was limited allocation. Now there are literally 1500+ of them sitting on dealer lots throughout the country. You can easily get one for well below MSRP now. |

Saw one today on my way home from work and I have to say it looked pretty ridiculous. I'm sure the 25 year old me would have loved it, but at 35, no thanks. That being said, I'm sure it will be a blast to drive.

I've seen a few at this point and they usually are driving like total D bags. I saw a stanced one too. But this is miami so could just be par for the course.

Well we knew it was only a matter of time before a bad dealer double downs. |

See I'd be leaning the other way out of spite. You want to hold my car? Enjoy your bad PR, I'm calling Honda of America and I'm still getting this bitch at MSRP. We can play their waiting game but the dealer still loses.

No doubt I'd make their lives hell, but then I'd want the car for less. Otherwise, fuck off out of spite.

The article has been updated. Apparently they had planned "to rope the car off" as a display only to get people into the dealership and never tried to get more money from her (though they did offer her deposit back to sell it to someone else for more). In the end they delivered the car to her at MSRP and they admitted they were douches.

Was just browsing cars.com today....there are so many nice cars you can get under $50k (slightly used). You would have to be nuts to pay that for ugly Civic. If you want reliability, get 2015 RC-F or something

I get your point, but the RC-F is the answer to exactly zero car questions. The fact that Focus RSs and STIs are being sold under sticker, or very similar pricing to the CTR is the real problem. The simple fact that a GTI or a Focus ST are nearly $10k cheaper out the door and quicker in a straight line is another problem. |

And fwd, much like awd is very easy to access compared to rwd. I'd guess the average CTR time delta to a professional is a lot smaller than say an M3 or Z06. And it's $34k, not $40k. Like the Focus RS, markups will be gone in a few months. For MSRP, ignoring discounts on other cars, not much could really touch it. Maybe a Camaro V6 1LE package, but again, that's a big, heavy coupe, not something that can carry bikes, camping gear or kids quite as easily as a (goofy looking) CTR. |

It's just in my area, everyone gets the newest "affordable" car that comes out (Golf R, then Focus RS) and all they do is drag race or street race. Absolutely no track, and on the track when I do go, I do see VW racecars (gutted, rollcage etc..) but no Focus RS or anything of the sort. To me, Honda is marketing their CTR as a FWD track car and people are buying it due to the hype or whatever the case was, and saying "Oh for the price, this car is fastest than old GT2, GTR, etc.." around ONE track. I'm already tired of the civics with fart cans driving everywhere in my area, I don't need to see a million other CTR trying to race everyone wherever I go.
