Maybe its because the S2000 was the one car Honda made that didn't need to be tarted up from a standard economy appliance.

This!

but they gave the NSX a type-r version?

In Japan they have the type S but dunno what that includes. If you want a s2000 type r just get the oldest one you can find

as they got older they got softer! (not slower** softer)

I may be wrong (I usually am), but I'm pretty sure the Type-S and the CR are the same exact cars. I always looked at the CR/Type-S as being the Type-R equivalent for the S2000.

For me though, I never really felt the S2000 needed a Type-R mode; I always felt it was a Type-R already, but than again I felt the same way about the NSX.

Almost, the Type-S has a soft top and doesn't come with the hard top. It also has the option of different interiors vs. the CR black/yellow interior and it had more exterior color options (came in every color).

IIRC the CR has a different suspension setup than the Type-S. The CR has more chassis bracing, stiffer springs and came with the RE070 tires where the Type-S has the RE050. I think there was an Inside Line video floating around the web where they interviewed Mr. Uehara and he said the CR was somewhere between a hypothetical Type-R and a Type-S form years back.

I agree though, I don't think the S2000 really ever needed a Type-R.
..Still part wishes there was a new 'S' series car that was as competitive with the modern Boxster as our cars were to the Boxster a decade ago.
