"The first Civic Type R appeared in 1995, and succeeding iterations arrived in 1997 and 2001."

I too will own one if they come here.

all Japanese cars ae governed to 180km/h... about 115mph, they have been doing this forever, even for skylines and supras... Of course you can get this removed, but that is another stroy....

Japananese companies also have a gentlemen's agreement that their cars won't have an official hp of greater than 280hp.

Ditto, again. Of course I said that about the DC5R, too... Will the DC2R be the first and last R on American soil ? That would be sad, indeed.

It'd be a great DD, but can you imagine how much it'll cost?!? Si sedan is low $20s? Mugen Si sedan is supposed to be near $30k. Type R.......woooo
