Looks like the US is getting a Type S instead with only 200HP and 142ft-lbs. Checkout: http://www.vtec.net/news/items/654.html

It is kind of annoying that we don't get the Type R, or some 5 passenger version of it.

Actually the Type S might have the same engine as the Type R. Does 206ps equate to 200HP? Or maybe that japenese website's info is some prelimary (and thus old) info!

The site says 220 PS, 206 is the torque in Nm.
I still think it's the same engine though, a little detuned for the U.S. smog regulation.
