What a shame.

Hopefully they'll rise again...

not surprising really, the Type R lable has been slipping, weight and power are going the oppersite direction.

Really need a 2.1 ltr engine, 9000rpm redline, 275bhp, 200ftlbs torque, 1150kg.

as for the emmisions, a decent cat should sort it....

Scrap the crap UK CTR, make it a JDM only import jobby like the EK9 was.

I like this plan.

That's a real shame. With the emissions regs getting ever stricter, I can't imagine it will be easy to get anything like it back on sale in the future either - turbocharging will be where it is at. I'm not sure what Honda will do about that...
