I believe that a newer more performance orientated version will appeal to the older type R owner - the type that Angie is so happy to put down. It is these drivers that helped put the Type R on the map after all, and no doubt got drivers like Angies attention and desire to buy the car because of the image.

I quite agree. Was there not talk of a 250 bhp type r before this car was released? This model could do with a few more bhp to sluaghter the opposition like the old model did, but it is still by far the best looking car of the bunch!!
