Boy, they had a lot of grammatical errors. It was like reading a ninth grade creative writing essay. All I read were overblown descriptions, overly long sentences, and incorrectly used words and terms. They were trying too hard to be or do something but they definitely didn't get there.

Nice pictures, though.

good review and pretty much sums up what the type r name should live up to. Though I have never driven a CTR all the reviews rave about how little understeer it has, if any. Thumbs up to honda, but thumbs down for them not bringing it stateside

If Honda brings it here, the car will have "snap oversteer" like the 1st iteration of S2000 and 2nd gen MR2, and they have to quickly water it down in a revision.
