What's peoples view on the New Type R thats due out next year?

http://www.honda.co.uk/cars/campaig...JTT49BxLef6GhVSIlZu9uaSzZS25N3gGKyLlRa5_D_BwE

I went into a dealership on the weekend to ask for a rough guide on cost and they are thinking it's coming in two forms (maybe a mugen), at around £28-32k and then around £36k.

looking at the car I think it looks stunning and will come in at roughly 310bhp, but based on the cost are they slightly over pricing this?? I mean you can get a second hand GT-R for those prices and would eat the honda alive....
 
Very true, I had the last type r before getting my bmw but it was so much better to drive and got loads more for the money.

It looks like its been driven on a ram raid through the 'stick on tat' section of Halfords.

That's the best section of that shop.... Get some good deals!

So far it's been a resounding "what a fugly car". I will wait to see what it's like when they actually release it, at the moment the UK government have rejected the spoiler but Honda are fighting it.
 
Clearly the best CTR was the EP3, and the main reason for me wanting the new one is missing my old one as the VTEC/engine was just class. Best hot hatch engine for me after test driving pretty much all of them.

I hope they get this right, the only other hatch that i would look at is the 275 megane, but i dont want to touch french crap. Otherwise looks like i'm sticking with my BMW.

Its not 4 door as far as I was told. Same with the last CTR, gorgeous from front back end fugly. Then again I can't see the back whilst i am driving :p
 
Yeah hard to say really, I got my FN2 18 months old for £13k with 12k miles on it but sold it last year.

Ridiculously over priced, hot hatches should not be more than 20k. 10 years ago a CTR was 17k, now its almost doubled.



Ek9 was the best, the steering alone makes it superior.

Agreed about the price they are now. I was looking at a car for the Mrs and saw that the Astra VXR is close to £30k dont get it personally.... If it is true and thats the price then I might have to consider getting something else which is a same really.
 
That does seem to be the case, it's all about the fastest lap around the nurburgring and the highest bhp in a front wheel hatch. It's nice and all that but for me it was always about the drive, looks and the iconic noise of the VTEC
 
You sure they were only £16.5k??? I got one that was about 16 months old CTR-GT for £13k, I thought they were around 20-25k new back then... Mine was a 58 plate till i traded for my BMW coupe.
 
Just shocked at how much cars are new these days.... I really would like this if its made well, the engine performs and the interior is nice but the price!!!

I even went looking at some cars for the mrs, and even a crappy french clio is around £15k WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!

No way would I pay new car prices. I bet 70% of them are finance if not more.

You are probably right mate, the issue is when people don't have a deposit its sometimes the best way to get a cheap monthly payment. Yes you have a lump sum at the end but you just part ex and start again.

Just hope they are not stupid with the price and what i was told is incorrect. Potential to pay £36k for a Mugen CTR 2015 is crazy money.
 
Yeah but inflation cause suck my b@lls!!! Wages are not that much higher which is the issue. Never mind, just hope this is honda back to its best! I could never touch things like the VXR or Focus ST/RS... rank cars and rubbish drive!
