"RUMOR" Type R in 2010

[7002iSciviC]

I read a few article and thread about type R coming in 2010. SO IF EVER its going to come out, how much would it be? 30-35k..... if thats going to be the price range of the type R, that is messed up specially to the MUGENSI owners. Some prolly bought their mugen for 35k and if ever true in 2010 type R will be available for 35k as well. that is so screw up. any thought?

would you guys even considering buying the type R IF it set for 35 grand or MAYBE 40?

im even considering trading my 2007 si for the type if it comes out. I know i will lose few grand but cmon thats a type R one of a kind

until we see it, its just BS

[Wierdochild89]

I would be pissed off if i spent 35-40k and still have FWD.

[Dar-Dar]

Honda should add turbo and AWD with that.

not only is the mugen the biggest fan boy joke in the world for the price but the type R would be even more so if it was 40k. lol don't get me wrong at least a type R is more then a n SI with a body kit and rims unlike the mugen but its still a fwd econo box with low power. granted its 220ish more then an si but look what else you can get for 40k now a days..
hell for like 5 grand more you can get a vette ffs.
honda would sell them to the cult following BUT although that seems like alot of people on a forum its far less then they would need to be successful.
they wont do it. or they wont charge that much.

i'm not getting my hopes up..we'll see what plays out..

The standard Type R costs ~$25k USD in Japan. Shouldn't cost too much more if they offered it here. $27-8k? Why not.

But it will never hit the States.

If it's $40k then I'd rather invest in the new supra at $50k. I think I deserve a supra after driving this R18 auto EX for a while lol

Why would they bring a car that has a suspension that is inferior to that in our Si?

[reaper702]

they will never bring the type r here

I doubt that Honda would bring the FN2 over here especially since they thought the EP3 was a disaster. That's why there aren't any more Civic hatches.

[7002iSciviC]

id say they will nail it if they price the type R 25-30k and well sorry for the mugensi owners

[o-hatch]

There's was Rumors back then, about the EP_CTR coming to the U.S. Same thing here...until proven!

By the way, i want H.O.A to brings the FN_Civic here! It'll give us in U.S, all 3 Civic Models.

WE DON'T WANT THE FN2.

Honestly, if Honda did see fit to bring a Type R here in 2010, we know that it would be very expensive. Like 35-40 grand expensive. For that amount of money, buyers should be given the same level of performance commensurate with an Evo X or Sti. There is no way that the current Type R motor will produce that kind of power or performance.

Given American Honda's reticence to produce high horsepower motors, it seems highly unlikely that they would go F/I on the car. With all this talk about carbon dioxide footprints and with the way fuel economy standards and prices are going, I just cannot see Honda doing much beyond what we already have. As much as I would love to see either a Type R or Type RR, I am not very confident we will see their ilk on these shores.

Can you give me one good reason the Type R would cost 35-40 thousand?
