Bednarik60 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Focus RS: 350 HP 350 TQ -$38-41k Focus ST: 255 HP 275 TQ - $23-25k VW Golf R 290 HP 280 TQ - $38-40k VW GTI - 210 HP 250 TQ - $26-30k Subaru WRX 265 HP 255 TQ - $29-32k Honda Type R: 305 HP 295 TQ - $45-60k(cause of mark up, 15-30k mark up) Quote I called up a number of other dealerships, who told me similar stories. Walnut Creek Honda—which the spreadsheet shows is charging $5,000 over MSRP—said it doesn’t have any Civic Type Rs available yet, so it doesn’t know exact pricing. But what the gentleman on the phone did say was that the dealer only anticipates one or two Type Rs this year, and with the high demand, there’s “no doubt” there will be a markup. How much of a markup is yet to be determined, but the guy told me that typical markups for these cars were in the $5,000 to $10,000 range. Take a look at all the dealerships on CivicX’s spreadsheet that allegedly have markups in the $10,000 to $20,000 range—it’s a long list. Looks like folks looking to pick up a 2018 Civic Type R might have a hell of a time finding one for anywhere near MSRP. They’re just going to have to decide if it’s really worth it. http://jalopnik.com/dealers-are-charging-way-over-msrp-for-the-2018-honda-c-1796181591 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bednarik60 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 This is the new trend with cars. They are getting the "Jordan's" treatment. They will release only a few at a time and put crazy mark ups on them and make you think they are worth way more then they really are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bednarik60 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) I have heard on some car podcast that it is super awesome from the front, but the back end and wing leave you asking your self if you either love or hate, im not sure what i think (why i want to see one in person). Got like a double wing thing going on, dont if im crazy about the bing wings shape, and all the aero on the top hatch window, there is a lot going on here lol.

Bednarik60 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 The different size triple exhaust system i some times love in picture, some other picture i dunno. Also if you look closely at the back bumper black panels with interesting texture/style , there are these two holes on those panels , lol that is where there are suppose to be rear parking sensor that come in one of the upgraded base civics, but the R doesn't have them, but to save money they used the ones from that base civic on this and just sealed them with plastic lol.

I think the new hatchbacks look so much nicer than the 90's-00's. My friend has a civic sport hatch and I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the new hatchbacks look so much nicer than the 90's-00's. My friend has a civic sport hatch and I love it. I agree with you, they look way nicer and cooler. But they are way heavier compared to the old ones. And there not quick or fast really. A 90's Civic EG hatchback can weigh anywhere 1950-2050 lbs, where as the new ones weigh 2900 lbs. So what guys like to do is get a 90's EG and put in a K20 or K24 Engine from a early 2000's Acura RSX or TSX. After K20 engine swap and a few mods like intake and catback end up with like 210 HP 170 TQ on a 1950 lb car. That is going to be a really fast car.

Did you just tell Flux you were giving him a football and then didn't give him a football? Continue lying to Jags fans and you just may earn a football ET.
