"But the two Honda employees also told Autoblog the Type R badge is "only for Honda-badged vehicles," despite the existence of the Acura Integra Type R from the early 2000s."

I like that quote. It reminds me of some of my conversations with people at American Honda (not all, have had many great chats too) with Expo stuff. Asinine is the word that comes to mind.

Classic silo/faction/fiefdom mindset.

My level of frustration from Honda (all territories and brands ) continues to grow. Discontinuing parts is the worst.

The NSX was designed and is built in the US. The all out racing version is built in the same factory as the showroom NSX. Not offering a Type R because of some delusion about what the Type R is (compare the ITR and FK8 CTR, prior built for one reason and the latter is just another street car that does well on track) is the definition of asinine.
