Bonus points if you can correctly identify the car in front from the slice of bumper/hatch.

The looks of the CTR are growing on me. I saw a pic of one with a wing delete and it looked much better, though.

A wing delete does sound good.

Toyota Matrix?

As good as a wing delete looks, it does serve a function.

Would the car in front be a Chrysler Pacifica?

I mean, yeah, but not really in daily driving. Absolutely if you go to a track, which I would guess maybe 2 5% of CTR owners will do at least once. Autox doesn’t count.

Depends on the Auto-X size. Most are pretty small courses, so you would not notice it. On big Auto-X it be noticeable .

Right, I agree. I'm saying most CTRs will get Autoxed, but I don't count Autox as track days.

CTR is still ugly and that looks like a CRV in front of it.

I actually like the way it’s so ugly but I think I’m just too old for the seats. Comfy once you’re in them , but there’s no wiggle room and getting in and out is even worse than my S2000.

Not on big AutoX either. Wings usually don’t kick in till you’re at or in triple digits. Honda themselves have said it doesn’t do anything until you’re well above highway speeds. The front aero is the only one doing any work at low speeds.

CTR is ugly, but not that much worse than the Civic it's based on IMO. And nope, Forester.

Am I the only one that finds the styling in these rather boring in real life? It looks so insane in pictures but I’ve been behind them in traffic several times where it’s taken me a mile or two to realize it’s a Type R and not just a regular Civic hatchback.
