Here,s web chat transcript I found on the Club RSX site. I guess this could be seen as a hint that maybe the Type R wasn't a big revenue builder. My thought is one should "throw the customer a bone occasionally." After all, most Honda customers are previous and future Honda owners. I bet a good number of our Type R owners have a Honda as a second car. The younger owners probably will migrate into RL's or NSX's as their income matches their upward mobility. Does the attitude below seems a bit arrogant to you?

ASKAcura: KavMan-guest says: We want the RSX Type R here!! Not the Type S, there's already a petition with around 800 signatures from diehard Type R fans, So when will we get the new Type R in America???
Jay_Joseph: We never comment of future product plans until we're ready to talk, and I appreciate the petition, but we do have to run a business and unfortunately it's not a Democracy.
