Hi all

So is anyone eles pissd off with this? If you buy a super car its the first few cars that are the rare ones NOT the last. I feel like by putting my money down early by wanting one of the first batch I (we) have lost out.

Basicly we should have waited.

Nope. I don't think I've lost out at all. Had one of the very first and still very happy. [emoji106][emoji594][emoji100][emoji100]

well it anit exactly special its just a black paint GT spec with a few added red pieces no special wheels no increase in bhp no extra stiffening my guess they had the last few kicking around and knocked them out as black with whats left of the red trim pack that you can spec as an option(stay away from the red wing mirrors ) lol they made a much nicer job of the black edition CRV that did look stonking with graphite grey paint and black leather interior and black alloys that was a tool and a half pity its only got a 1.6 turbo now a 2.2 enlarged to a 2.5 turboed now we are talking

no offence to any owners of black CTR's but i took delivery of my new CTR on 30th December and had the choice of a new black on the dealer had in the showroom. I love black cars but dont believe black does this car justice so I dont feel I have lost out. I dont expect the black edition will have any negative impact on the future value of any FK2 CTR.

Its a pointless move from Honda, they got lazy coming up with this "special" should of done 20 of each colour instead of copying the already European black edition specials, which means there's actually more than 100 out there

Dunno where you are but there's a black edition in Howard's Honda at Taunton. At least, it was there when I drove past and stopped for a nosey on Easter Monday. The seats look great, but I can't make my mind up if I prefer them black, as they stand out more in red :)

Nice one! Congratulations, I don't live in Taunton, but do go there every so often on a cruise around. If you see a brilliant sport blue, give me a wave :)

Thanks Sylv and Sparky.

I paid just under 30.
7 miles on the clock and 5 year plan included. I felt it was a good price so didn't haggle at all.

Long time ago I had and Ep3 for 220k kilometers in[…]
