you think way overpriced? you get a lot of performance for that much. Any similar priced car perform as well?

The MSRP is already way over priced, but then dealers take that and slap on another 10k, 15k, even $20k markups over the MSRP

Its absolutely insane.

If you want one and can afford one, and it suits your needs, its a great car to own.

There are comparable cars from Toyota, VW, Hyundai, but Honda is my personal favorite by a long stretch

I would compare it to other 4 door cars like the VW GTI, Toyota GR Corolla GTS, Hyundai, also the Acura Integra Type S is very similar to the Type R

corvettes and mustang is getting into RWD coupes, very different in comparison. Im not the most knowledge about the best models/years for those cars but some are better than others

Its FWD, same engine as the type R with a different tune. The car is slightly heavier, no sunroof, leather seats are kinda fancy.

You can find some car review articles

The Type R and Type S are literally the same car with different interior. One is way more expensive (Type S).

I think they're fine, just not worth the dealer markups. At that point, you can get a used C8 Corvette now.

Personally I don't find them all that interesting. I get the appeal but they visually do nothing for me. Especially when, for the value proposition, you can get a FK8 instead (previous generation Type R) for like 95% of the performance at half the price.

Because of the Honda and Toyota well received reviews that got dealer realizing that they could up the car .

You will never find Honda or Toyota at the same price like 2010 or prior due to their cars jumping in sales and value.

They are no longer ecoboxes anymore :(

Not a Z51, but base C8s can be found for high $50k - low $60k now.

If you aren't tracking the car, you don't need the Z51.

oh, you're a big fan of the c8? supposedly the z51 package is a great add on. Makes it way better though

I would commit a crime for a C8 HTC Z51 lmao. I generally love most Corvette generations though.

But if you never track it, you don't need the Z51 stuff.

I bet that is fun to drive. Honda/Acura has always been my favorite for what I can get for myself, balancing a practical city car and fun to drive with a good quality manual transmission

If I could afford to collect cars and/or not need 4 doors, I would love all sorts I imagine

Hard Top Convertible.

Z06 and ERay are incredible but the value proposition of the base C8 is insane. Not to mention: not everyone has 6 figures to throw at a toy car.
