I keep looking, keep hoping to find a single review where when it includes a Type R that someone says the pick isn't the Honda...
That article does kinda hit on the thing with the Type R though, best driving hot hatch but not the one you can live with.
Does anyone think any of the other marques COULD make a Type R competitor?
A Golf with ridiculous aero, bucket seats, some race type suspension, slick manual gearbox.
I think they probably could, but does it make any commercial sense? I don't think it does.
