I had never known the existence of a CTR sedan earlier, looks like they are going to offer one in this 8th generation... ???

Check http://www.globalautoindex.com/news.plt?no=1801&nl=y#

seems to be rated at some whooping 225PS from a 2.0L n.a. engine :blink: (may be JIS figure)

seems like a good move - puts in into an odd segment né...i'm trying to think who its direct competitors would be... :huh:

Nissan Sentra SE-R ? And (its a streach but) perhaps even the the Dodge Neon SRT-4 ?

it would make it a tad more subtle,but wouldnt that also cause it to look far too similar to a stock City?? :huh:

Yeap that's the idea, a nice subtle sleeper to thrash the rice boys with. :lol:

yup..i think its a pretty cool car. they released the civic Si sedan in the US a few months ago..so this is pretty much the jap/euro version of that I'm guessing..

at least the Si sedan is pretty nice looking in the flesh i think. definitely not as fun as the coupe or a traditional hatch back type R..but if you're in a situation where you need to have a 4 door car..its a good alternative to a basic civic if you want something sportier.

why is that? <_<

honda used to be class leaders in chassis (Eg: DC2) and horse power (in certain classes) but their newer cars focus more on refinement than sheer performance and engineering brilliance... their new cars are heavier and underpowered in their respective classes... honda has slowly but surely become a Toyota Wanna Be :(

the only ultra new honda's that i have admiration are the two SH-AWD+turbo SUVs - the MDX & RDX(?) ... even the new Honda legend with SH-AWD is still a big disappointment... their lack of spirit and inspiration is evident in their F1 cars too... back in late80-early90s they were at peak (albeit teamed up with Mclaren & Williams to provide the engine) but now that same sort of passion and success seems to be lacking... what Honda is becoming is not what Soichiro Honda wanted it to be...
