I don't blame them, especially after the poor record of new NSX sales. They do need to bring the FD2 Type R in! haha. Honda will be bleeding in the sports hatch/sedan market when the Ralliart Lancer is released here. Then the EVO X will be the nail in the coffin.

Be good if it isn't sold locally. Means we can import it eventually.

Yep the NSX was a disappointment in terms of sales.The outgoing NSX was $225,000?so one can imagine what would be the price of this V10 machine.

The FD2 would certainly be a competitor to the WRX and Ralliart-but I don't think it could match it with the EVO X or STI in terms of performance and everyday driving.
I think and I hate to say it,the next generation of Type Rs may need to be turbo or supercharged.
It's just becoming increasingly difficult for Honda to compete with these force fed cars.

honda should def do a SC-CTR.
they'd still be different cause everyone else is going turbo and it would certainly put them ahead

Just admit your wrong, your information is horrid.

Almost never gonna happen. Honda have always prided themselves on achieving big numbers via NA. The FD2 is more than worthy in a battle with the Evo X and STi. Look at the AMS S2000 at Superlap last year. Just 300PS with 1,200kg body and ran 56s. At the track it's all about linear power delivery and mid corner grip. For a FWD the FD2 has bucketloads of both.

Volkswagen says :wave:

They are rolling out direct injection twin charge engines across their entire range over the next 2 years. Quite alot of other Eu manufacturers are developing the same technology. It's the way force fed engines will be heading.

Are we still saying N/A engines dont hit over 100% VE? :rolleyes:
