I left this comment. Obviously biased toward the DC2 ITR. But everyone should up vote it and maybe Honda will bring more Type R's to the US.

"@AmericanHondaMotorCo: The DC2 integra type r is one of the best cars in this class ever. Those of us lucky enough to own one don’t want to sell them ever. We love the high revving VTEC DOHC 16V naturally aspirated inline 4. The clean simple styling of the GEH DC2 ITR is timeless. Please don’t hesitate to bring back the GEH tradition. Glad that you finally brought another Type R to the US. Man do we wish the US got the DC5 ITR and the FD2 Civic Type R!
So the lighter you can make cars, the higher revving, the most direct steering, and the most championship white the better. Simple baby, that’s what we want.
Kind of like this–> The formula here is to put a motorcycle engine into a small Honda with a sequential gear box. Do it!!! )
It’s great that you are bringing Type R’s back with this excellent example. And to use your ability to give to charity in this creative way is honorable.
Good luck with this charity auction!"

So awesome in so many ways.
I like all the attention that the Type R will get!
I laughed at the comment "Can't wait to see this on BaT again in 30 years and 3000 miles"

First NSX (Gen 2) sold at $2M for charity auction, wonder if this will get anywhere close...
Figure the 0001 car would be the only FK8 worth anything down the road anyway.
Agree, first car should have been CW (even tho I'm partial to black...). Maybe Honda is trying to pump up the value of the blue ones !

I had a phone call yesterday and said that it had a few civic type r at my local race track for the journalists and for the Grand Prix of Montreal , in less than 30 min I was there ! There was 15 of them , white , red , black and blue ! All the same California plate , and one CW was out to take a photo shoot I parked next to it and the photographer said we should do a photo shoot of both of them ! But didn't had time ...

The whole package falls short of perfection, but the first Civic Type R ever to be sold in the United States has a lot of personality for something that looks so much like a robot.
