You guys can keep your GTR, but I'd rather have this. Inline 6 TT something that you don't see anymore.

In your dreams, this car has more style and the resale value is still really good on them. Go ahead and try to find one under 100K miles for under $50K.

If you want speed then you should get a 1 liter bike or Hayabusa. With small modifications you can do 7 second 1/4 mile pass all day.

This all started with the statement that a GTR would not be fun to drive. You can argue that a manual is more fun to drive than an automatic and I will agree. Just don't try justifying that a GTR would not be fun to drive. If you found it boring may I suggest you're doing it wrong.

Looks like fun to me...

"I'm no longer with Honda, so my information is dated, but a NA (North America) Spec Type R was originally going to be built in Indiana alongside a 5 door variant of the Civic. Then the 5 door got moved to Canada, and along with it, the Type R.

The NA Type R's fate has been very much up in the air since then, so I'm not sure if it has been axed all together for the US, or if it's still hanging on.

The last I knew the Type R would have a 2.0 Turbo, and the Si would be getting a 1.5T. Their benchmark for the Type R was the best FF time at the Ring, which, at the time, was held by one of the Megane's I believe. The Si benchmark is the fastest FF time around VIR.

With rumors that the Focus RS and Golf R400 may be coming, the Type R pretty much has to. It certainly was planned for a while, but Honda being Honda, they could certainly cancel it and be boring and lame."
