That is ridiculous! If we can have an Si with almost the same engine as the Type R, then why the world Honda doesn't simply stop producing Si models and start building Type Rs for us, in Canada ans U.S.A.??

I hope the reason is not because the safety stuff isn't high enough for America because in this case, we're in trouble, my friends!

Personally, I'd trade the Si for the Type R, even for 4 HP's

How about instead of importing the Type R intended for the UK, we import the JDM Type R? 222 BHP with improved suspension, chassis, etc. and a dead sexy front end. It has a lot more to offer over the USDM Si. For a picture check out:

I’d trade my 07 Si Coupe for one of those anyday!

All comments are true, yes the pictures are better for the Type r but you have to admit that if you look past the fancy pics, both the hatch and the coupe are comparably equiped. I like hatches, i have to admis, but i drove the new coupe and i expected more, when i went to spain and test drove the type R it was better in handling, power (must be the difference in weight more than anything else), and especially styling. Come on, the type r even has integrated exhaust in the rear bumper (DUAL!!)… and chrome… im getting me one

That “TYPR R” Looks ALOT like the pervios gen si which was somewhat awfull. Also ppl look at the landscapes shown in the pics of the type r vs the si… Look like there might have been a little bias already you think?? PICS of the si here don’t do it justice, they look dons better in real life. I have a 2007 Civic si sedan and I would think twice about owning this TYRE R over mine. The interior looks pretty neat and there will always be those who prefer hatchbacks. To each there own!

I own a “regular” si coupe, and the car is sexy, has great performance, and is very well equipped….not to mention that a hatchback sux, one of those looks that only a mother could love kind of thing….i would have to see this car on american soil for 4 more horsepower? spare me…
