The thing is, what Honda could do is go upmarket for the CTR, to put it into a similar price range as the VW GTI. Put leather seats, have a 220HP engine, Xenon lamps. If it had a limited run, I think people would swipe them up pretty fast. It looks smaller than the Civic coupe, and has a much better interior IMO.

The 99-01 ITR's had a limited run here. And they sat on dealer's lots.

Your post proves exactly what I'm saying.

So if it doesn't have these three things at the price of the GTI, then what? You'd go buy a GTI, right? Why pay the price of a GTI, if you're not getting everything the GTI is getting? So just what ARE you getting?

Like I said earlier, you're paying a mark-up for a badge. That's it. You're not going to get a CTR with leather seats. You're not going to get a CTR in this iteration with a 220hp engine. You're not going to get a CTR with Xenon Lamps. What you want is an entry-level luxury vehicle. Go buy an Audi A3.
