We're talking about performance car here, not white goods on wheels.
there is always trade offs in life. if you want one thing, be prepared to give up something. ie. want performance, pay more. want to reduce cost, suffer with ordinary performance.
everyone know performance has higher running cost. use more fuel, parts/service are more expensive. if they're that concern with running cost, they should stick to Toyotas which have set service fee up to i think 60000km.
your thoughts is exactly why we only get the water down version of a so called Type R (aka DC5R), and why it's unlikely we'll ever get the proper ones. but the excuse Honda gives is just BS to me.
A VW that is made in South Africa/Mexico and cost similar $$ to buy is more prestige than a Honda that is made in Japan???? LOL VW is very good at marketing then.
a Type R ffs is a not for the mass. they are never intended to sell in a great volume. that's the job for Jazz and bread and butter Civic.
just like organic food, they cost more for sure but there are still market for them.
