you're not getting the point. whether it's a 38k pounds, 64k dollars, 2.39million bottlecaps, that's an expensive civic!

The current Type-R isn't worth the money, as Clarkson says. I don't see the Mugen version being much better.

And the JDM Type-R crushes the EDM Type-R, as Vicki says.

Seriously, $64k? Are cars in the UK just more expensive then in the US or are they 
crazy? 
40-44k would sound more reasonable IMO.. and still then I wouldn't buy it. At 40k, I'd rather have an Evo X or a 370Z.
Edit: A top of the line 370z in the US runs for 37k, while the same model 370z runs for 52k in the UK. Jesus, a 15k difference. So if they brought the Mugen Civic RR down here it'll cost around 49k, but still.

plus they can get all the JDM cars just coz we drive on the right handside...and i think cars lose their value a lot faster than cars do here in U.S.

not that anyone cares (nor do I) but this car lapped the west circuit by 0.2 seconds slower than a Lotus Evora and a E90 M3. Well at least that's what Evo (or was it Car?) magazine said.
