They should have brought in an EK9 and smoked them both.

Whatever 18000 british lbs. equates to in American dollars (probably mid 20s)......i'm sure for that price tag they could have made the car a little better.

Actually, it works out to about $36,500 at today's exchange rate.

eff that! I'd rather get the JDM Type R. THat rear torsion bar is the killer. But the fact that the UK type R and the USDM Si are rated at the same power unlike the jdm's 220 hp (rated at the crank) doesnt help at all.- Especially since the EP3 TYPE R had basically the same power but lighter. GOD i wish we woulda got the ep3 type r.

WTF? the EK9 type R Owning both? ARE YOU SERIOUS?

I would not agree with you about the EP3, b.c that was one of the crappiest type r's made haha.

I think it would have done well actually. Part of the reason Top Gear hated the Type R soo much is because they expected it to be better than the previous gen. Type R hatch. And sadly it's not.

Word !!! I wonder why they never do that....imo the ep3-R is a lemon compared to the ek9 type R.
