I love how it looks. Plus you have to rememer, the US dollar isnt worth shit anymore, so $39k isnt nearly as much to them as it is to us. The suspension on the new Type-R is orgasmic as far as tracking the thing goes. It could be the year 2507 and people will still say about new Honda's "oMFg it has n0 tork, you can buy X car for that much and blow it away in the 1/4 mile!!!"
All in all.. the thing is pretty ridiculous, but you could say the same for any car with Mugen parts on it. They are RIDICULOUSLY expensive, so I get what they are going for.
