I always thought that the Civic Type R was Canada's version of the Civic Si. The Canadian Si is the US' Civic Ex. So don't we really already have the Type R?

Civic Type R
GOD's right. But the CTR is certainly rumored to be making its way to the states in 2002.
If you really want a Civic Type R, the biggest feature of the CTR that sets it apart from other Civics is its engine. It uses the B16B, which is very similar to the B16A (engine used in the U.S. '99 to '00 Honda Civic Si). This is a real shredder of a motor: DOHC VTEC running a 10.8:1 compression ratio, putting 184 hp @ 8200 and 118 lb-ft @ 7500 to the flywheel. It's not cheap though. You can get one at this site: http://www.b17a.com/store/engines.htm

I hate how hight that peak torque is, not to mention it's pretty small amount.

It's about choices. The Civic Type R is a mean naturally-aspirated Honda right off the production floor. Some people really like like the smaller displacement, higher-revving engines, like the B16B. For these people, there are scant choices better suited for their desires than the Civic Type R.
