Type R's are all about high revving N/A engines. If Honda can't produce this at the moment due to emissions regulations, then I think it's time to give the type R brand a rest. Don't dilute the heritage down with some half arsed attempt to please the masses.
Personally I do not like the new gen civic at all and think it's doesn't deserve the Type R guise. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, so the Type R should skip this generation and come back with a bang when Honda can produce an engine to fit the bill without compromise.
This, spoken like a boss.
Honda are a business, they sell cars to make money, a stripped out racing spec Type R wouldn't sell in the masses like the EP3/FN2 has done.
It's not going to happen.
The whole thing is silly. A turbo type r will use more fuel than an N/A version. You tell me which is better for the environment.
Edit - less weight would mean less power needed in anycase.

Whose comments got used in the end?
