I think it’s true Honda fan boys that have lusted after this model for years. Now that it’s finally here, no matter how old they are, how much the car is, how fugly it is, they had to have it. Again, not my cup of tea but I can definitely appreciate the car enthusiast aspect.

I just seen one in southern ontario and was like meh, it's ok but waaaaay too much stuff going on. Like they just tried to make it look extreme just for the sake of being different.
I then went on autotrader and seen these are going for 50k in canada. That's correct. 50,000 for a fwd (fast) civic.... |

- A very rudimentary understanding of the automobile business, or - A self-enforced ignorance of any vehicle you don't like or understand The demographic for this car is as obvious as (to use a comparison already made in this thread) that for a Lamborghini. You may not like it (I certainly don't), but I totally understand why it exists and who's buying them. It's as predictable as lightning from a thunderstorm. (Sheesh, the cluelessness on this forum just astounds me sometimes!)

Mid $30s is my limit for my daily driver. It needs to be new because I have too many cars for reliability issues. I would buy the civic for a beater. Unfortunately, despite it's amazing track like performance that embarrasses $100,000 beasts, it looks hideous, the suspension is a little on the Stiff side and I don't think my wife will allow me to do it.

... but I guess your query surprised me considering the volume of your activity on this forum. All one needs to know about the demographic for this car is the fact that the 'R' in Civic Type R is the most aped (i.e., faked) car badge on the planet. One acronym sums it up: JDM.

The 'next-trend' examples you state above are, for the most part, not classic JDM archetypes. Evo/WRX/STi had a rallying component that fueled development -- street racing in them was a secondary phenomenon -- and thus makes those cars attractive to certain types of racing fans that wouldn't be caught dead in, say, an Integra Type R. The S2K was never strongly equated to JDM since its primary competition (Mazda Miata) was never sought after by the JDM crowd and its secondary competition (European roadsters: Z3, Boxster, SLK, TT) were null sets to that crowd. The current Civic Type R's primary demographic is wealthy young ethnic Asian males, ages 16-30. Sorry if that sounds stereotypical, but stereotypes usually become such because there's a certain amount of truth behind them. Sure, there'll be buyers who don't fall into that category, but that doesn't mean those buyers are a target demographic.

I think for a DD it would be fun.
After seeing a white one at the LA auto show, I forgot to say that the exhaust must be dumped for a dual tip. Also, this car does not have a real handbrake. I have no idea why Honda did this. There is that stupid electronic one where you flip a switch. Oh I know why. because the cupholder is the size of 2 super big gulps. Idiots... It would piss me off enough not to buy it, unless there's a kit out there that will revert back to a standard handbrake. |

There's one cool car with three exhaust pipes.

Saw a dark grey one parked on the street. Looked really good, but still had the dumb red pinstripes. You have do buy either black or dark grey.
