Lol looks great. Good luck getting in without massive ADMs the first couple years for the most part. Except the people that buy them here that all somehow paid under sticker. :p This won’t probably ever really stay on lots, since the styling has been toned down.

The original NSX-R, Civic Type R, and Integra Type R, were all rather understated cars, designed to be a more hardcore track ready variant, but definitely very mild in terms of exterior styling. Simply go back and look at any of them… beyond a taller spoiler, custom wheels, and a couple Type R badges/stickers, they basically looked exactly like the lower trims.
Well I disagree personally, if people want a "toned down" thing then you get a Si, not a Type-R. I'm going to leave it at that though because to each their own. Although I will say there was a lot of unnecessary hate for the 10th gen in general. Other than the fake vents, that was okay to hate on since it was literally fake as said in the name

We can agree to disagree, my eyes don’t lie, and I can look at an EK9 or DC2 and see exactly what I’m referring to.

Everytime I see people saying Type Rs are always aggressive looking, I just can’t help myself laughing… perhaps they only started paying attentions on Type Rs since FK2…

This is what I’ve been saying man, I feel like I’m an old man, because it’s like nobody remembers that before the FK2, they were always very mildly styled. Those 2 cars are beautiful.

They are beyond fine wine.

FD2
The FD2 also dated well for this reason and still looks fairly modern for a 15 year old car!

I don't think the FK8 will date well, not having a go at anyone but as soon as this new one comes out it will look old.

I'd never considered an FK8 but I'm all over this. We're all different though and that's what makes the world go around

Ill fix this for you: the FK8 is straight up ugly for the most part. Thats my opinion contribution to help make the world go round.

It's a Type-R, supposed to be aggressive and as noticeable as possible. They almost fully accomplished that with 10th gen. Only issues with it (exterior looks wise) were the fake vents which they fixed with the refresh, then other small things
what the hell are you talking about? Lol…type r’s have never been crazy designed cars like the fk8 and the fk2. That was the euro wild styling. Now it’s back to what type r’s always were, just a little bit of aero, with a whole lot of functionality.

Tell me you haven’t been into Honda’s long without telling me you haven’t been into Honda’s long.?

I'm not saying you are wrong, it's very clear what the cars looked like. What I am saying is what I prefer, not what is. My original comment was all about preference, not what the car is or what it's supposed to look like

That last sentence could not be more wrong. Also I was not disagreeing with the guy at all. It's very clear what the cars look like lol just go google an image. I am simply saying what my original comment was talking about, preference. My preference to be exact, nothing else.
