DC5R = Type R
EP3R = Type R
FN2R = Type R
FD2R = Type R

They are all variants of a Type R. Saying its not 'real' is an insult to Honda engineers and researchers.

Lets be real here. If the so called "real" Type R came to Australia you or 98.5% of the people here wouldn't buy one anyway. Calling yourselves diehard fans and crying about getting a "watered down version" serves no justice if you're not willing to buy it. Oh, and test driving it doesn't constitute a "fan".

DC2R is an 8 year old car that's worth peanuts in monetary value.
You left out the EK9.

To be fair, people are entitled to their own opinions, although I have to admit the FN2R is getting alot of unwanted bashing.

The FN2 is a type R, but not the track orientated type R japan always brought out. Perhaps this is the reason why people are giving it alot of stick, but as the saying goes, the grass is always greener on the other side. If the FD2R made it here, it might not be the frequently talked about car anymore. People always like things they cannot get.

A car that is 8 years old does not mean it is worth peanuts, it depends on the condition of it and if a genuine DC2R had only 10K on its clock, I am sure it won't sell for peanuts.

Anyway, just enjoy your car and that's the most important.

Cheers.
