Limited run, 1,500 cars, in special yellow paint so others know you paid a lot of money for it!

Subaru lovers can get in on the overpriced all sizzle, no steak version too.

They're letting a few go for 27,500 before tax and licensing. I still think that's crazy though.

the CR was essentially a jazzed up, gay-wing S2000 with a snow plow front when it was released. If you were around for it you remember all the hate.

Actually, I was thinking about the Mugen Civic from a few years before, or the Nismo Zs.

I don't see a difference - same thing really.

Someone at my school has one of these... or he made his own imitation. I'll try to snap a picture next week when I pass his car in the parking lot again.

I love that color. It pops so much, reminds me of my spa s2k. I guess I'm biased.

Honestly, this doesn't seem terrible to me. It's a fairly comprehensive visual package - paint, wheels, calipers, exhaust tips, body kit, and interior bits. All of this under warranty and with OEM fit and finish. If you were planning on doing these upgrades yourself, it makes a lot of sense to go ahead and buy it from the factory.

Quadruple exhaust for a 200bhp...now that's funny.

The car overall is overpriced here in North America, the pricing of this special limited edition is rather low compared to the regular one. I just wonder how well they will hold their values here in a few years.

And if Honda released a 200hp RWD coupe, how much do u think it will cost??

Hint: The 1997 Honda Prelude was $26k MSRP

I'll agree with u that it's overpriced. But Honda doesn't sell things cheap either.
