Hm, I wonder what 220PS translates into HP? Is it the same units as HP?
Any ways, I still like the American Si body style; it's very clean and sporty. The Proto Type R is a bit much for me right now, I think. Don't get me wrong though, it's still a looker!

1PS = 0.99HP so the car should have ~ 216HP.
Car looks sweet. Wonder if thats what the CSX Type S will look like for us Canadians???

Re: Civic Sedan Type-R Prototype - Japan F1! (jonness)
Could that Type R decal on the rear door be any bigger?!
Nice car, afraid to calculate what a CSX front and rear end conversion would be cause we're NEVER getting that Type R.

What's really encouraging is that this is a car that I think the USDM might buy.

They probably would. But the price will not be justified by the masses for a Honda. If it was, we would get a watered down version. So we will never see it.

I dunno. 220 HP out of a 2.0 K motor is not hard to do.
My own track car has a full exhaust including cat converter, and it would be about 235 using the same calculation methods.
You would pay 25K for that car?

It will go for more then 25k. If that was the case they would need to end the SI. And if it was a limited production , plus dealers raising the sticker. You would be looking at 30k+ for a Honda. And as for me, I wouldn't pay that for any car. I am very content with just driving something from point A to point B.

i want the hatchback!!! hatch is the hawtness. I'd give up my 300hp ride for that any day. Hondas arn't fast but they sure are fun to drive, awesome gearbox, great chassis and sweet engine to rev with out getting arrested.

OK. Let's say the car is no more limited production than the EP3 CTR and DC5 ITR were. In other words, you could always order one but you might have to wait two months for it.
Let's say the anticipated margin at the anticipated production warrants a sticker of $27,500US.
Would you want one?

I don't think you fit the stigma of the typical user on this board. I would pay $25k for that.
