Hopefully this will mean they get a bit cheaper, although I'm guessing not.

Is this just it's end of it's life then and on to a new one?

Doesn't really go into specifics but reading between the lines it looks like the 3 door CTR is the way forward. :?

I prefer the FD2 over the FN2 though.

Let's just hope there's a few CW one's about in the next year so I can buy one! :lol:

Same here and i think most do. Its a shame it was never sold over here.

Didn't realise this hadn't been posted somewhere. Haven't clicked the link but by all accounts they flew off the production line to start with but as sales have fallen and with new emissions regs to compete with they have called time on the Type R . Think this is the first time ever that a model has been retired with no new model planned.

I'm amazed the FN2 has sold so well compared with the FD2, but then again it wasn't introduced that long ago so it is still fresh (not a slur on the FN2, but you know what I mean). I assume they are also peanuts out there (RRP of FD2 when I bought mine worked out at around £11K + taxes)
