its funny how many people complained the Evo X look in 2008 . It was very unique appearance with the fish mouth etc.
Nowadays many cars resembles for the X fish mouth etc.
So as the Evo VG and so on so forth.

So much for the Evolution X being a dead end lolololol

The truth is it was a nice continue , until they pulled the plug.

The CTR has also bold styling and i do also like it.

I also like the movie Judge Dredd so go figure

Hasn't Audi been doing the fish mouth for years?

it does, but not really the way the X does. I do agree though Audi style is the closest back then i guess. But they only started with that model line which as you said was i think 3 years out on the market. They didnt do it before. I can actually think it might influenced the X style a bit. Which i dont mind at all.
Many people were criticizing it etc. I did love it. I think makes the X really aggressive looking , specially as soon as gets lowered. Its like hunting you
I think its just as mean as the V was back than. Although i still think the V has the most aggressive looking out of them all, then the X and the VI.

I think the Evo X is the most mature looking Evo, but I don't think it has a unique look.

Not as much as it was before 2010. LOL
Still, really sticks out all of the EVo lines. Has as you said, a bit more serious look , but still boyish.
.

the CTR def. has more of the Transformers look , and boy racer, than the X, but I still like it

Sharp body lines are a big part of its aggressive style. The bottom-facing long trapezoid is common now.

I'm late to the party, but for me the last true CTR was the EP1.

What I wouldn't give to have one of these.

Lightning bolt...

"If you thought the $33,900 base price for the 2018 Honda Civic Type R was a bit steep for a front-wheel drive hot hatch, you ain’t seen nothing yet. That’s because some dealers aren’t going to let the limited-production Hondas go for anything less than $15,000 over MSRP. And I spoke with one dealer who’s charging an absurd $30,000 over sticker."

I guess it really doesn't matter because I don't think I would buy one anyway. BUT, if it (or the FoRS before) did go for MSRP, I might have bought one if I had nothing better to do.

Eh. I'll stick with my Evo.

Evo was the first new car I purchased. Don't plan on buy a new car again. Hate the depreciation and taxes. I'll let someone else take the hit.

Hell, the sticker new for the used 335i I purchased as my DD was almost $50,000. I paid less than half that.

We'll see if people actually pay $30k over sticker for these design abominations lol

THe Evo 8 was boy racer. The CTR is boy "bad design" racer lol

personally i think the whole dealer model of selling cars is antiquated and we should be able to order direct from the MFG. Tesla really has the right idea with its model IMO.

idk about 30k over, but people already are paying 20k over.. personally I think those people are nuts, but they are paying it

335 isn't the only better car you can get for 55k, the list is very long
