audio sounds like he's really letting off the gas at the end of the m3 lap. When he's saying "what's the lap time ...what's the lap time". Still shows that the r is a close match for cars that cost well above its price point.

I saw that vid this past weekend. I was kinda shocked at the results.
It would def be a tough call between the M3 and Type R if you take the $$ out of the equation.

Off the top, the USA rarely gets anything but the cut down versions of most EU releases, speaking of the engine bay. We use to be so far behind EU for road course suspension and sporty body styling, but now the looks are matching globally, but WE the USA have not shown enough interest in suspension & engine performance to make the manufactures releasing what it gives the other Countries to give us the same..... There's no other reason we don't have what EU has. Exception to engines due to our EPA, not that EU isn't controlling their engines as well.
Hope everyone that wants a Type R gets it, EU style........

no way of knowing besides waiting right now. Multiple sources within honda have said it'll be 2017 for the R to be available to the US, ....and it's unknown WHEN in 2017.

There is also the "money factor" as well. Euro cars get more goodies in their cars but they are also priced higher. This "money factor" comes into play in the sense that European people seem to not have as big of an issue with the Sticker Price on the cars. This new Type R is 30,000.00 pounds and most, if not all, have already been bought or have a deposit down on them. Americans will/do have an issue with the sticker price that will come out. You already are hearing people say "I won't pay $30,000 for a Civic".

Oh I know. Even though cars are the cheapest in US, dealerships will most likely price gouge the hell out of these cars. Like when the R35 GTRs started sales in 2007.
