Does make me think of Star Wars though! :lol:

I don't think the Type R ability and performance has ever been in question.... Would love to try one. If you can get past the looks, perhaps in black, no spoiler with shades on it could sneak in ;)

I prefer the ‘toned down’ look of the new type R. But not so keen on the price rise which seems a bit excessive.
