They are basically the same between AP2 and AP1. AP1 is 205F/225R but the rear tires are bigger than other 225s, basically a 245. AP2 is 215F/245R but in this case the front's are basically 205 width (identical width with my integra's 205's anyways).

215F/255R is the slightly wider tire sizes I'd run, so they got that right on the CR. +10mm all around if they are truely 215/255, not over/under sized... my 225 fronts are much, much bigger than the stock "215"s...

the CR looks pretty nice, the color and wheels make it weird and somewhat ugly. imagine it in black with different wheels. i think it would look mean!

you guys talk so much trash about how ugly it is and the wing is so disgusting. It looks like a freaking Mugen wing! i have seen quite a few members on the board with one.







i gaurantee a lot of you will have a change of heart after driving it and seeing it with different wheels.

Well I personally have yet to see a wing on the car I like. I think the mugen wing is ugly as hell too.

To AHM:

I know there are a lot of Honda corporate guys reading this site.

I just want to say that I'm not trying to attack you, though it seems that way.

You guys do a lot of hard work, it's evident. You also work for Honda which I
know that mere fact promotes your drive to work harder.

I say however, that I think your direction is being misguided perhaps from above.

This was a styling exercise first, engineering second or none.

The opposite would be true for JDM Honda.

That sentence right there is the entire reason why throughout time they have
always seemed and been labled 'Conservative'.

I like Conservative Honda, they brought us the S800, the 1300, NSX, S2k, all
the Type-Rs, etc....

Redefine your goals, make Honda Of Japan step back and say WOW.

Look at the Two Civic Type-Rs. One from the Uk and one from JDM. Look at the
areas of focus. Look and compare the level of detail of both.

Two Type-Rs. Two completely different cars.

That thing is just HORRIBLE.
The only thing I like about that car is the black s2000 emblem.

i expect to be disappointed after all the hype, but thats just me
I hate to say i told you so.....



I was just looking back trying to find that post and i was laughing to myself when i saw other comments like "the CR will sell like hotcakes" and "the CR will become and instant collectible"

edit: I just checked, April Fools Day was 3 days ago Honda!

You almost feel like they are going to say "gotcha" and roll out the proper CR sometime soon!

the interior is the only good thing, and its not even that great,

a mugen spec s2000 would have been 10x better idea.
