Build!

No white wheels, unfortunately. If I ever got one, I’d dip the wheels white immediately.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

*inb4 someone posts a Focus RS, WRX STi, Golf R, or something that’s supposed to represent its appearance.

Body-color matching painted wheels need to come back.

By build, you mean... change the exterior color? There’s not many options!

No V8 RWD option :(

Come on Honda!

What is there to change?

I think we have a new “easiest car ever” to configure online. Taking the crown away from the land cruiser which also lets you choose seat color.

Does the Land Cruiser let you choose wireless charging?

I’d like a CVT option.

wireless headphones?

This is bad configurator.

Slightly lower power but a much better value. After dealer markups it’s basically half the price!

“slightly”

Race-tuned CVT would be good.

Honda is so sad... I look at that car and all I can see is this:

You can easily make up a 50hp deficit with $10k+

And lose your warranty. And all the stuff that makes the R great.

No RWD option? :(

Also, they’re still doing the “Earth Dream” thing...?

And what makes the R so great? I see no reason why I should even consider this vs a Golf R or STi.

Wrong. Ford and Mountune offer tunes.

When the RS starts at only $2k more, it’s really a no brainer.

Doubly so if it lets you do Fast and Furious shifting.

Exactly. And it’s not like you are getting a Type R from a dealer for anything under $40k any time soon. Meanwhile I could go over to my local Subaru dealer and walk away with an STi with no hassle.

I still don’t see the value of the Type R vs the Golf or RS as a performance car. For $2k more I get 50hp more and a sophisticated AWD system in a car which is capable of keeping up with an ex-Prodrive WRC Impreza.

Can’t keep up with the Type-R on a track though.

I choose blue.

Done!

Lacking the wing delete option... Were I in the market for one, I’d pay Honda a little extra to not put that wing car. Otherwise, I can get behind the type-R

Why would you want to remove functional aero?

Honeybunchesofgoats > TheHondaBro 06/15/2017 at 20:16

I feel so conflicted. I get that it’s functional and that that’s a good thing, but I’d look like such a douchebag in a Civic with a giant wing like that. Like, I don’t mean that as a blanket statement, I just mean that I specifically would look like a huge tool in that car.

I choose the correct color. Which is the same one you chose. And i’d just add door visors and call it a day.

We’ll see how it shakes out, but you’re paying a premium for Honda build quality. The ST’s have a pretty bad reputation for reliability which doesn’t give me much confidence that the more complicated RS will last more than 50k before basically falling apart.

Told my wife I was thinking of replacing the Forester with one. She says it’s ugly. I’m in a seriously foul mood now.

Wow, this is tough. So many options to choose from.

Do I want body side moldings?

Illuminated door sills?

Door visors?

All-weather floor mats?

A first aid kit?

Maybe I need an illuminated console or a cargo net?

How am I supposed to make a decision with such a plethora of choices available to me?

Thats, true.
