The drivetrain is crap, as I said a few months ago.They launched it too late. Those who would buy the Type R already own the regular shaped Civic Type R, and there are plenty of used non-flagship civics on the market.
I am not surprised nobody’s gonna buy it.
Put the Civic Type-R engine into it and combine it with a DCT from Getrag.
Some people want an automatic, give them a wet DCT.
