My guess is MSRP of no less than $53k. $55k wouldn't surprise me.
I was good to upgrade if it would cost me $11-12k. But with these numbers I’d be looking at $15k, and it just doesn’t interest me at that price point.I might still be interested if I can get 35k plus for trade-in on my Aspec.
Telling my dealer that balls in their court. Make me an offer.
Because it only MAKES SENSE.- This is yours for the closest guess--had you been within $1,000 without going over, I would've given you two.
Weird, the opposite for me. Always owned Japanese cars but was never interested in a Honda until CTR and ITS. But I do agree with you at $52k this is not a value for me. Guess I still won't own a Honda.Yeah. I love Honda, all I’ve ever owned personally has been Honda. But you have to be a delirious fanboy to buy this at $52k.
Nobody thought it would be cheaper than a Type R MSRP. Most assumed $4K more (basically for the stereo and heated seats). $7K more is just price gouging. You even lose some of the track functionality (logR, shift light, stronger bolsters, etc.).All y’all hoping to get a Type R copy for “cheaper” just got owned.
And you lose features that the $37k A-Spec Tech has (rear USB, sunroof, power passenger seat, memory driver seat, possibly the option for a heated steering wheel).Nobody thought it would be cheaper than a Type R MSRP.

Exterior differences aside, what do you get with the ITS? Heated leatherette seats, a HUD, and a nice stereo system (and it is a nice stereo system)?No way this thing cost much more than fl5 to produce. Sure shit not 8k more
52k should have bespoke rear quarter panel alsoExterior differences aside, what do you get with the ITS? Heated leatherette seats, a HUD, and a nice stereo system (and it is a nice stereo system)?
The car looks great, I'll give Acura that, but as you said, there is no way this is anywhere close to $8k more car than a CTR. No way.
