If it came from a different magazine, MAYBE I'd consider it. But Motor Trend hasn't read the press releases with Dick Colliver stating that he fears the CTR would steal sales from the RSX-S.
M/T also said the next Corvette will make 500HP. I don't have much faith in the editors there. 80% are dumber than copperhead.

Where'd you get that 197 hp figure from? UK-market Hondas usually are rated at lowe hp figures than their US-market counterparts.

Motor Trend is the most unreliable of any car mag. Their drivers and editors are very out of tune to what real car buffs want to know. Not to mention, it's very painful for me to read their magazine because it's written at the level of a 5th grader. C&D and R&T read like an intense Steven King novel, while I swear Dr. Susse is the editor-in-chief of MT.

They don't evaluate cars well either. Sometimes for their low they put "Had to give car back to [manufacturer]." Give me a break. In the 10-years I've subscribed to Car & Driver, I have seen one spelling error.

The CTR, if sold here, would make 197HP instead of 200HP in the RSX-S. Like 3HP is bragging rights.
