Do you know how long we have been chanting "Type R, Type R, Type R?" Freakin' forever, while hoping the US price doesn't choke a horse.

Omit the airbags, are you crazy? Not worth risking your safety IMO for a few pounds. Besides, I believe they're federally mandated now.

I think the S2000 is pretty close to a Type R as it is. It's market is already limited due to its hardcore nature, and a more extreme version prob. wouldn't do much for sales.
OBVIOUSLY they won't delete the airbags for the States.

You think every car is meant for the U.S. market?

True. If this Type-R version would ever make it to production the full vision would never make it to the states. Not to mention it might be a limitedWe

No, esp. this one, which is meant only for the dreams of a few.

Honda seems to be a company w/ a conscience that cares about safety of it's drivers, passengers, and those in its cars' paths. Even in geographies where airbags aren't required, they'd prob. still include them. Seems kind of silly to omit a few pounds of potentially life-saving saftey gear for a high performance car that will be over-driven by amateurs.
