Help me understand this. I get why most people clown on the new prelude, but how did the Civic Type R get away with praise? If you'll remember the NSX, that was also a flop because it performed akin to a gtr but was priced to compete with euro exotics. So why do people/reviewers give the Civic Type R a pass? If the do, surely, the less hardcore but prettier and cheaper and more efficient Lude would be considered good, no? Yes, the CTR is faster and comes with a manual, but it's also just as terrible pricewise! The GR Corolla is notably cheaper, and the Golf R matches it at price. Those are AWD! There's also many enthusiast coupes for less, and let's face it, most don't have the kids to need the extra practicality anyhow. I love Honda and drive a base model daily myself, but I am genuinely surprised why anyone cares for their performance offerings, they always underperform and lack features at their price level. There's almost a Honda tax. I get it for the used market, but the new market too, and it somehow works on the Type R, where the on-paper 400 hp, rwd, manual coupe at the same price, the 400z, just immediately dies on launch.
