I blame Brexit
The first gen F20 cars are 306hp, the LCI (facelift) ones are 320hp. Regardless, a quick remap takes them to 360-370hp and then with a decat and remap its 400+
What!? The current and past gen CTR's have been awful to look at. The new one with its awful hatch design and 3 exhausts looks worse then the FK one. (2015-2017)
I think they probably would do in Japan, but the Yen : GBP conversion has been terrible since 2008.
Doesn't also help that all the 90s Japanese performance stuff is climbing. JapaneseUsedCars contacted me after seeing my car on Ebay to say that a car in my condition is now 1M Yen... that is a £11,500 car landed, before MOT and Tax! The market is going crazy, I have been tempted to keep the chaser as all it's going to do is climb in value at this time, unless the Japanese market crashes.

I love a quick TDi as a daily hack, great mileage and they storm down the motorway at a fine pace.
but I just don't think people are going to yearn after an Ibiza FR or Golf GTD in 10 years time.

Yeah the old Civic was god awful and hit by the chavvy stick constantly throughout birth, the new one is (to me) slightly less but still pretty bad - it redeems itself with its performance though... a little.
We will have to see how the new ST will go, its a 3cly aint it? Big opertunity for Ford to make it a lightweight monster but i suspect they will ruin it with 150 kilos of worthless shite that some marketing penis thinks is worth it (like 18"+ wheels or something)
ok I got the cubic capacity wrong and was leaning towards you have the better engine,
this shows with a sectioned cut RS block what I reffered to regards the block design and lack of bore support https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuGodKdRLpE
