New CTR article

Just got the May issue and am reading the Type Rticle. Impressive kit.

Squozen? 

That car is really impressive, you can also watch our video track test too:

Yup, squozen. :) 

"Roided out grocery getter" That description fits my Focus RS to a tee.

Was expecting yellow bird, leaving disappointed. 

In reply to Cactus :

This is the “other” CTR.

I still insist it's a perfectly cromulent word

Just saw my first one of these in the metal.

1000% better looking than the previous version.

Not hyperbole.

[edit]  Let's make that 10,000%

In reply to Duke :

Have you seen the new Integra Type S in person? Might even be more attractive than the new CTR. 

In reply to David S. Wallens :

I would say the Integra looks more grown-up than the Civic but I really like how the Civic looks. Much better than the last generation but still a little wild. 

In reply to Duke :

Talk about damning with faint praise.

In reply to Chris Tropea :

The Civic does look good. As a friend said when we went for a drive in the Integra, Bro, you look so happy there. (He can use “bro” and it not sound weird.)

In reply to David S. Wallens :

Have seen both in the metal, the type S is a winner. 

It's basically a gift from Honda to all the 90's tuner kids that did good over the last 30 years.

In reply to CrustyRedXpress :

Very well put.

I have not, yet.  I liked the release pictures, though I know a lot of people did not.

OK, I added an order of magnitude to that.  10,000%.

It's a good looking car, no matter what the metric.

I'm looking forward to seeing them in our town around 2029, purchased off eBay with the worst modifications Californian owners can think up.

We do not get the best of the tuner scene.

I think the Civic and Integra look equally good, but each appeals to a different generation. 

Also, the color of the Civic on page 44 is similar to the 91 Ford Es_cort GT I once owned.

JG - Why is there a filter on the word E_scort?

We had a huge influx recently of bots promoting, uh... companionship services. That was the best way we found to cut down on that traffic.

The first Civic Type R that I saw (the turbo kind, not the wrap-the-tach-all-the-way-around 1600cc kind) was already slammed to the point it hobbyhorsed everywhere, and he had permanently mounted two of those hard shell roof luggage carrier things to it.

In reply to David S. Wallens :

There was a maintenance mechanic that went by the name Candy Man at one of my local quarries that overused Bro so much that I started calling him Bro and I've never called anybody Bro.
