The thing is the days of very light weight cars are over because of crash regs etc. I think if you really want a Type-R in the 1000-1100kg region your looking at a Jazz Type-R. Personally I want a light car with RWD so I bought an AE86 Corolla.
IMO Honda are on the money with the new Type-R, straight line performance was never an issue for the EP3 and it will still hold it's own against the current crop of performance hatches (I say performance because a proper hot hatch is 106/Clio sized IMO). The improvement in the steering and chassis (yes even with a torsion beam) between the cooking EP and new car is unbelievable so if Honda only get half that improvement between the old and new CTR then it'll be an absolute cracker to drive. I still think there is room for a proper optional stripped-out version (delete all sound proofing, peripheral electrics, etc) with an LSD and sensible sized wheels but the automotive industry is extremely competitive these days so there's not always the opportunity for these sort of indulgencies.
As for 'proper' Type-R, VTI, etc, etc, this is all marketing b******* anyway so who gives a stuff.

I really feel they should have and could have given at least 20-25BHP more.
Look at the new Corsa VXR FFS. That's going to have enough pace to worry a few cars IMO.
I have a feeling the new Type R will sell well but will also get a whipping here and there.

I think it is very funny. I remember when the EP3 came out all the diehard Honda fans knocked it for six, just post on Honda revs and see the reaction, even today lol. Now us EP owners are saying the same thing about the new car. And no one has even driven it. And IMHO until you do any comment is just supposition. Speaking personaly; of course, what it looks like is less important than how it drives. Else i would not like Hachis, R32's and most other Japanese cars
