Probably more than you realize. I own a 7 series for long trips and wife drives a Grand Cherokee for hauling and winter driving and now I want a fun performance car. I can afford the M2 and therefore the Civic Type R so price is not the issue with me.
My first car was a Honda (by choice) and I've owned several Hondas over the years and so the thought of buying the best performance Honda has me intrigued.
I ordered the M2 and now in wait mode. I do plan to test the Civic Type R and if I like it, might just opt for it instead. I will say my wife no doubt will give it a big thumbs down but she doesn't have to ride in it if she doesn't want. Wife loves the M2 in LBB.
One thing I won't do is pay over MSRP which may mean no R.
p.s. Just watched videos Matt Maran and Doug Demuro did on the Type R and the M2 and withut a doubt the M2 looks at least $20K better than the Type R. Demuro didn't like the power or sound of the Type R which are 2 thigs that would bother me.
