Honda Civic Type R

Why not use the AWD drivetrain from the Pilot or MDX in the Civic? 40k plus dealer markup for FWD no longer cuts it. As Focus RS or STi or Golf R can be had for 40k and you get AWD and more power in some cases. I had a 98 Type R number 313 and it was great at 23k or so that it cost. Adjusted for inflation that's about 30k or so now.

cause heavy and dont work all dat well for high performance driving, probably.
best just use the SH-awd assist. at least put da power down off da line.

but no, too expensive.
