Honda had to make a car for the new car market, thats why they brought out the type S. Honda wants people to buy their new cars, not 2nd hand. They wanted people to pay 45,000 for a type S, rather than 30,000 for a 2nd hand type R. And the people who will pay 45,000 for a Honda would want some luxury in their car.
"The Type R was too extreme for many customers" quoted by Project Chief Kenya Tsutsui.
But what they did wrong was, trying to imitate something like an M3. Its a Honda!
At the end of the day, the S and the R are totally different cars....
The Type S isnt exactly s..t if people would want leather seats, sunroof (main reason i chose the S) and also some K20 iVTEC. The S in my opinion looks a bit more elegant than the type R. The S is also not as popular as the R, another reason why i got the S. I dont want to be counting the number to Type R's i see a day, coz if i did, it would be heaps.... (how many times have you activated ur LSD on street???)
For someone who wants something a bit more unique and a bit more elegance, Type S is the way to go!!!! FTW!!!!!!
For 45,000.... i would like to know i can also enjoy the comfort my car can offer....
