Awesome sound and awesome fun

Bah, it is a good car in the scheme of things, but it's not a good Type R. The Integra you mention would beat it on a track handily. The Euro R just isn't ridiculous enough to be a Type R. The Mugen dials up the craziness adequately though.The Euro Type R is still a very good car. People bleat on about the torsion bar rear end but all the best hot hatches ever (Renaults, Peugeots) have had one.
I'd agree the Japanese version is better, but the Euro one is still a great car. The Mugen one isn't the best version though, given that it rides like the Flintstone-mobile and costs FORTY THOUSAND POUNDS. I think I'd save about £17k (or more) and just get the normal one with a limited slip diff.
Or for £40k you could import the JDM one and have enough change for a DC2 Integra R...

RevheadzThat green E36 was lovely. Pity.
Glad you can't find too many, it looks terrible.

Can't disagree with that. Well I can, but it's also your opinion so I'm happy enough with that. Given that it performs as well as my Miata in a straight line, I don't see it being too slow. And I like the styling, best looking Honda since we lost the S2000.
Went over this one with FoolKiller in the hybrid thread. Honda have mentioned about twice (at the most) the CRX when talking about the CR-Z. They're not trying to pass it off as a spiritual successor in the slightest. Styling wise there's some influence, but their main tagline is "World's first sporty hybrid".
The fastest CRXs are significantly more thirsty than the CR-Z (unless you baby them, which defeats the purpose of having a fast car), and the most economical ones are significantly slower (and still only just as economical, despite weighing several hundred kilos less and being smaller). Unless there's one in the middle that matches the CR-Z somewhere, then they can't really be compared.
A few UK mags have hinted there may be a Type R in the pipeline, but it'll still be a hybrid.
Are you referring to the roof rack and such, or to the fact it was destroyed recently in an accident?
Bah, sorry I didn't post a BMW!
The fact that it was destroyed.
More the questionable nature in general of that S14...
Not trying to be too pedantic but your MX5 (if memory serves correctly, you own a 1.6l) has 120hp and weighs in at roughly 950kgs, 0-100kph in about 8.5s. And a quick check of various road tests and specifications of the CR-Z shows the CR-Z with a combined output of 122hp and a weight of over 1200kgs and a 0-100kph of around 10 seconds. I am simply taking the 0-100kph as a example of performance but the power to weight ratio would indicate that an MX5 would be a more lively performer than a CR-Z.
And a Volvo 340 to mix it up a little...

If the roof was in fact chopped off, how in the world would you not see what was questionable about it?What's so questionable? He just chopped off the roof.
I was gonna say that car is an ugly piece of crap, but then I saw the exhaust and I imagined what it would sound like. Cool in my book, I dig it.
