Test drove a CDTI a while back, very futuristic, but that gets boring very quickly, had my demo for a week and the novelty wore off quick!
The chassis didnt seem all that great for a sport model, but the engine was very good for a diesel, but still suffered from the usual diesel powerband issues, the speedo and rev counter setup annoyed me loads, as did the poxy spoiler in the rear window.
I like the front but the rear looks like a daewoo.
I dont think its a great car to start with so i cant see the TYPE R being much better apart from the engine, i do hope they keep the gear stick in the same place tho, the gear change in the old type r is a peach, really is.
Apparently they will do a type RR too?
