Yet another awesome Type R that the USA will not get. I heard this thing tore it up on the Nur ring...

What's wrong with Honda these days, their old Type Rs were clean looking.
This looks like a riced out body kit Civic of 10 years ago. Hope it at least drive well, the JDM type R drove well, but not the Euro version |

I like it, but its a far cry from the original type r. Well never see it anyways. I remember Honda/acura of america begged Honda Japan for the integra type r in the late 90s saying it was vastly important for the brand image. Why Honda doesn't see it again with this car is beyond me. Honda really needs a change in management I'd they want to stay relevant to people under 35. |

I don't think this car is a homologation special like back in the good ole Group A and B days, which introduced awesome cars like our beloved WRX/STI , EVO, Escort Cosworth, Celica GT-FOUR, M3, Skyline GTR, 190 EVO, Sierra Cosworth, Delta Integrale, 959, RS200, Pulsar GTI-R, Volvo 240 Turbo, Civic SIR, and many more... Civic SiR and Type R looked like any other Civic. I'm no Honda enthusiast, but I remember the true Civic tuners hated those body kits "posers" put on there cars, now this has it factory I remember back in the early 2000s, spider and Bomez body kits in those catalogs, it looks like this |

Yep, in my thirties but edgy styling, big ass diffusers, and pipes and **** still make me rock hard. The stacked wing is a little much, but that surely won't make production. Still would.

I'm 32. The styling is a bit much for me, but I would still love to see it built.

Honda needs to realize that this could be the perfect midlife crisis cars for us Gen Xers. Forget the Vette keeping that title, for us around the 40 mark (or slightly younger), Type-R still rings of the good old days when standing by our modified cars in the parking lot of a Nathans and talking like we all were running 12s with an AEM intake was a good time.
Sign me up. Turbo Type-R Vtec must kick in yo. |

I always thought a midlife crisis car was something to make you feel young again? Bringing people back to a time when VTEC was cool, certainly brings back good memories for me regardless of what drive this car is. I'm about to put an ERL motor in my Evo, but if this came out, I'd buy it in a minute, just to get something I always wanted when I was younger. Call it nostalgic, call it even silly, but there is an appeal to this beyond how fast it can go.

I think midlife crisis is the time in a life that you want to live to the fullest and get the Corvette, 911, SL Mercedes, and what ever expensive sports car one dreamed about when young but didn't have the money, but now do.
I'm sure many of us had Ferrari, Corvette, Porsche, and Lamborghini posters all over the bedroom |

I interpreted it as something to make you feel young and youthful, yes... but not necessarily to take you back in time 20 years. Just because FWD VTECs were the thing for my age demographic in high school ~15 years ago doesn't mean that that's what it takes for me to feel young again. I view a midlife crises car as something that is fast enough to encourage you to do questionable things in a car (kind of like what you did when you were younger and first got your driver license and a set of keys and had an open road in front of you) while being a lot less practical than what you were driving before, as lot of people in their later years make car purchases that make compromises between wants and needs (3-Series, WRX/STI/Evo, etc.), or even more biased toward the latter (SUV, soccer mom van, etc.), though when in the middle-age range, those sacrifices aren't as necessary, hence the midlife crisis cars generally having two doors and no backseat (or at least a really tiny one), like the Corvette, 911, etc. And at that point in life, they are probably in a better position to get it (more money, less need to have room to haul kids around, etc.).
