I couldn't agree more (I'm a former journalist who is now paid quite well to question things in another field). Apologies ...
... but I guess your query surprised me considering the volume of your activity on this forum. All one needs to know about the demographic for this car is the fact that the 'R' in Civic Type R is the most aped (i.e., faked) car badge on the planet. One acronym sums it up: JDM. |
It was an honest question. As someone who grew up during the JDM explosion on the mid to late 90's, we were one of the first generations to drool over the Integra Type R, Civic SI, Skylines, etc. The next trend, as I understand it, was the Evo, STI, WRX, Z, S2000 etc. Are the current Type R buyers people of my age who yearned for the Type R in high school and college? Or are they the younger crowd, new college grad age with some coin? My point being this: I was a big JDM fan as a teen. I can easily afford a Civic Type R today, yet I have no desire to. This car should appeal to me for nostalgia's sake. But it doesn't.
