I don't know how many of us read AutoWeek, but for those who don't, there's an column on p.5 of the July 29th issue titled "Flies on the wallpaper." The writer, John Stoll, makes the point that auto manufacturers read our comments on sites like this one, and take them to heart in their marketing decisions. The example Stoll uses was VW's gauging the potential interest in V-dub's GTI 337, which is based on the 25th anniversary edition sold in Europe. The car showed up in the U.S. based in part on the comments VW of America saw on vwvortex.com.
So, what's my point? My point is -- assuming that you want one --never miss an opportunity you have here to comment on the Civic Type R and your desire own one, because you can bet that Honda's reps are reading this site. I'm doing my part: bring 'em on, Honda! CTR or Acura RSX Type R: Doesn't matter, I'll be delighted with either one. Cash buyer! I'll even buy another set of your outrageous priced floor mats.
