08 civic type r coming to us. japan getting a type rr

Kind of looks like a SRT4. 40k could get you a nice civic with a lot of mods without the Neon look.

Hosmer has a good point, they make a limited number of production cars that gives them an excuse to produce a massive number of upgrade "Mugen" parts that aftermarket enthusiasts and K-swappers will eat up. I'll bet they make more selling the parts for these things than they do selling cars.

I cannot wait to see 1990 honda civic DX's with Type-RR stickers . . .

 

[klyph]

Yo, check this, I gots tha Moojun wang on ma moms '92 civic!

I'm gonna start selling "R" stickers on Ebay, so ricers can just add it to their existing Type-R sticker.

FWD, 80 less HP, and Half the torque . . .

Haha great post. Its obvious where the look/wing of the new type Argh civic come from.

 

[ThatGuy4life]

So many different threads can we make about this car, dammit

 

[jeffie7]

I for one wouldn't even pay 20K for it.

 

[Cashizslick]

The Neon SRT outperforms it for less than Half the price. . . .

Its funny, its 22 pounds lighter and has dual exhaust!

they could have said, "Its 50 pounds lighter!!" and left off the unnecessary extra pipe / cat / muffler / oxygen sensor / wiring.

Unless its a fakie dual exhaust with a dual outlet muffler. I'd bet thats what it is.

Aston Marton DB7 $36k

 

[Celerity]

What.. the hell ? $35k ? I can't afford to NOT buy that !

 

[nootrac22]

I couldn't afford it, but it's a lot less then i thought it would be

 

[Celerity]

Lots of these cars that were serious status cars are now affordable. Things work out that way.

Instead of a new normal car, check out a Porsche 911. All of those "old" cars are maintained and treated WAY better than a 1 year old "mainstream" car.

It's smarter. Get something cheap and reliable for $500, then make your monthly payment on a 1980s Ferrari or something.

 

[nootrac22]

lots of 80's ferraris around 20- 30k.
