Why dont they sell it as a "Type S" or something!? To me a "Honda Type R" is a stripped out, basic, handbuilt, Road registered race car!

Some people want a harsh, noisy, unforgiving car! (Hello Lotus Elise)

Type R's have been getting softer and softer over the years, think of the reputation of DC2R and EK9! They had journalists and racers in a lather over their rawness and performance straight off the showroom floor! then came the "softer & luxurious" DC5R and EP3 and their more comfortable and forgiving nature (but I still want an EP3). It looks like the Type R name/legacy is going downhill from there!

Dont get me wrong, im sure this will be a brilliant little car and I like that Honda are having a go at it, but it should be a Type S not R, it just doesn't have the family jewels to be a Type R!
