I'd pay 30k if they could just make something with a tad bit of luxury and four doors that didn't weigh more than a Mustang. 3600 lbs is inexcusable. An E36 BMW weighed 2700 lbs, and that was certainly a car with some amenities. 4 doors, RWD, and a good handling car. For god's sake, my SUV weighs less than 2900 lbs. The IS350 is just a diet away from being a sweet car.
As far as a Type R is concerned, if you want a Type R Accord, get an Acura TSX, it is the Euro Type R.
Personally, I would love a K23-engined Civic with 4 doors that weighs less than 3000. RWD would be nice, but any four door Si would be welcome. I would seriously consider up to paying up to 40k for a quad-coupe S2000 GTS that weighed less than 2800 lbs.
But maybe Honda is seeing the light. After all Hell has frozen over and they are making a low-end torque turbo engine.
BTW, that Type R looks like a FordUK Ka. Gross.
