Not on mine right now. Once I install my springs I'm sure there will be rubbing.

18x9.5 +45 on eibach springs. zero rubbing on 265/35 RT-615s. +45 is pretty conservative so I can probably fit a 275 in there and not rub.

Honda is apparently making a new special edition CTR called the "Time Attack".

Jenson Button will be one of the drivers used to try and set lap records... We'll get more details at the Geneva show next week.

They are going to Type R the Type R. What a clever marketing strategy. I wonder what they will want for one.

My impression is that it’s a one-off publicity vehicle.

There were rumors of a more hardcore Type R, I'd think there's room for that too. Right now the CTR is pretty comfortable as a daily driver. I think Honda can fit in sportier suspension, grippier tires, and up the power a bit.

Seriously all of the manufacturers seem to be able to up-sell on special models these days. If the demand is already this high for the Type R, then a "plus" model would likely sell too. They should limit production and number them 1-250 or whatever and have some japanese guy sign the dash. $50k civics!

A co-worker of mine got one and gave me a ride. Those seats are glorious. He paid 10k markup on his and wasn't able to find either of his top two color choices.

I have watched a couple reviews of the car lately and thought to myself, "Maybe you could live with the looks. Everybody seems to LOVE driving the car. Its a Honda, you love Hondas! Just get over the big wing. It might make an AWESOME daily with that huge hatchback utility. "


Then I saw a review that says no heated seats. WHAT???????!!?!?!?!?!??!?!??!?!?!
