Enthusiast would take to the car well. But the General public wouldn't see fit, paying more for a few more ponies under the hood....And if they got rid of the Type S....they would destroy everything that Honda's advertising has been trying to promote... the young executive driving the six speed luxo-sports coupe..... It doesn't make any sense to bring either of these over..........as much as I personally would love to have an RSX-R or even a Civic R.............I don't see it happening.....
They would have to do it just like they did with the DC2's. Release them in limited numbers......very limited. I dont know about other R owners, but I would be pretty pissed if Honda sold a Type-R (civic or anything else), and it wasnt limited. Having the Integra Type-R as a limited edition IMO just makes it that much better. I think they should just bring about 500 at the most over. Cause you know they would just fly off the lots. Theres no need to get rid of the Type-S. Hell they wont even have to promote it. Just spread the word on the net, and they would all besold before they hit the shores. As long as its not the watered down Australian version I'm all for it.
