EIGHT AND A HALF GRAND!!! :o :o

From what I can read online, the only real difference between a Type-R and a Euro-R is the engine.

Am I missing something, or is there something else to justify this price tag?! Why not just buy a Type-R?!?!

What are the differences between the engine's?

I'm glad there's a label out there that puts the Type-R label in its place ;)

Type-R uses the H22
Euro-R uses the K20

They're also the 6th gen and 7th gen models respectively.

Oh, I thought you were comparing the same generation.

The cl7 euro-r is the 7th gen obviously and runs a similar k20 to the dc5 integra. Approx 220bhp with lsd.
There is an older shape euro-r which is more comparable to the ukdm accord type-r in that it also runs a h22.
Maz wrote an article in the banzai Honda bookazine highlighting the differences between the two cars.
