Saw that a while ago. No surprises. The EP3 is a little rocket. I'm in the process of selling the EP3 idea to my girlfriend. If we can't get an FD2 we'll get one of these. I love them. I can also transfer all the parts from my car to hers.

aus definately need a lighter type R model , with less options. shed at least 50 kg ffs. or make shit like dual climate control and curtain airbags an option instead of standard...

I watched that review quite a while ago as well, and I think the major point Jeremy was attempting to convey, is that the FN2 doesn't have independant rear suspension.. which all the Type R's have had up until now - it's more a story about a car that is great to drive, but with better suspension and more 'effort' into the performance side, could have been fantastic!

New one looks better. Old one looks and drives like a turtle.

Disagree with your first statement , and if the old one is a turtle then the new one is a snail.

I agree. I'm not a fan of the FN2 shape. I would've preferred the coupe if we had to cop that shape for our market. I actually like it nearly as much as the FD2.

EP3R murdered the FN2R, lets not even involve the FD2R or DC5R...

EP3 looks better imho, FN2R too fussy which divides people rather than getting the its okay but could be better...
