>Automotive News reports that a more hardcore version of the Civic Type R is already in the works. Honda is also considering building even more variants of the Type R to cater to different enthusiast needs.
>The first Civic Type R variant will be a more hardcore version with more horsepower than the base model's 305. On the opposite end of the spectrum, a less hardcore Type R "focused more on the grand touring aspect," according to Matsumoto, is under consideration.
>Interestingly, Automotive News also reports that an all-wheel drive version of the Type R is a possibility. Matsumoto said that he wanted the first Civic Type R in the US to be a reflection of previous models—light, powerful, and front-wheel drive—but apparently, he's leaving the door open for radical new versions.
There's room between $34,000 and $40,000 for a Civic Type R [extra retarded japanese nomenclature here] so that they can sell them to people in the Northeast corridor, where people have money but also snow.

I hope my dad will by me the hardcore version when I turn 30. Would be neat if they removed some weight too.
Charles Gomez
Automatic when
Carson Turner
Will they ever build a Type R CRX?
Michael Torres
I fucking wish. I just want a new CRX. The crz does not count.
Jonathan Adams
unnf
Why was it so perfect brehs?
Ryder Wright
Mine is beat to shit, but I'm slowly restoring it since the guy I bought it from wanted to boi racer it. Got it for cheap tho
>MIGHT be available for sale in 2018 if it premiers at Detroit 2017
Adam Jackson
>fwd >ever
Why? Lmao
Isaac Williams
they should honestly just rebrand it as a crx. would generate a shit ton of hype
Christian Turner
Probably half as much (or just as much) hype as was generated when the GT-86 memebox was announced. Honda still has a lot of CRX fanboys and they'd do well to remember it while they're still able to cash in on the "muh nostalgia" thing.
Liam Smith
>more hardcore version with more horsepower than the base model's 305 >fucking over people who bought the type r unless this isn't coming for a couple of years
Camden Bennett
and changing the crz from a hybrid shit to a nice hot hatch would be the perfect time to do so. the hot hatch market is intensifying in the US and the switch to CRX would make the most sense.would let people know that it's no longer the crz hybrid shitbox and also rope back in the big CRX fanbase
Camden Martinez
oh my fucking god please
Elijah Robinson
Could always gimp it from the factory or make it more expensive than the Type R
>the hot hatch market is intensifying in the US Exactly. That combined with the nostalgia factor; Honda could be ROLLING in profit$ if they decided to come out with a new CRX.
It might even be a strong contender for "meme car of 2018/9" if they do it right.
Nolan Torres
I'm going to apply for Honda marketing and meme this into reality for all of you
Carter Edwards
Please do it. Try and pitch an ad for the CRX like "Who said Touge is only in Japan?" so we know that one of /ourguys/ made it in
Asher James
I'll just make sure the commercial car has a WAT sticker on it
Tyler Morales
also have this song playing when it's revealed from behind a winding corner >the sound of a turbo in the distance >winding roads along the 101 >HONDA ENGINEERING >A REVIVED CLASSIC >2018 CRX pulls around the corner with initial d ghost lines youtube.com/watch?v=lVqOsx5UrH4

> still no word on the new S2000
Come on, I want to see if it's really going to be a twincharged monster with a fucking DCT
Christian Rivera
I read that they are waiting for the 70th anniversary
Elijah Campbell
Or.. >Keep CR-Z as hybrid >Make CR-X the non-hybrid turbo and debut in 2018 >Give both models a facelift
