Exactly that: personal opinions.
I don't think this is so pointless for their future owners, just to those who aren't going to consider it, like you, and a lot of other people.
I see the point for an extreme car like this as much as I see it for an extremer 350Z just to keep the comparison going. It's just an matter of points of view and taste.
Surely thinking it's a Civic which costs twice the original car isn't helping, but in this way a few cars can survive the reasoning, even the GT3 RS or even an M3.
Considering how I approach to a sporty driving, I'd prefer an extreme car for the weekend at the track and a normal one to bring it there as even a 320i, then a 350Z all the week, maybe.

The problem with this one is not the fact that it looks like that or that it is too ricy or whathaveyou, the problem is that this(Jalopnik - Mugen Civic Type R Revealed - Civic) is much better....

Anyway, in all seriousness, here's a comparison between the S2K and the Mugen R. I'd probably still go for the S2K because of the fun factor:

I wonder what the price difference is between a grey market imported JDM Type R/Mugen Type R vs the UK-spec models....

I don't think there are much Mugens round where I live... what a pity. But then chances are, if I want a hot hatch, I would most likely get a Mini Cooper S. Seriously, they grow on you.
Anyway I reckon they should revive the NSX.

the DRF7N or whatever, that guy copped so much shit on the forums
my guilty pleasure ferrari is a 512/testarossa... no idea why, want to rebuild one, do the equivalent of a fiorani/HGTE pack for it
yeah, the jdm one is a whole different ball game imo.
for some reason the EDM version has been selling like mad here, but i suspect it's not to car enthusiasts as such - more people looking for a sportier civic. i shit you not, i see a one everyday on average when driving around.
so far as i can tell this is either a poor man's substitute for an integra type R or just a really hardcore civic
