Likely a bunch of 15 yr olds as well as the Subaru/VW Monster energy drinking, fast food eating, vaping, poor hygiene crowd.

Bet those front tires are cooked after one lap. So much understeer.
What is with the choppy steering input on corner in? A FWD thing? Or bumpsteer?

The performance of this car isn't the problem at all. That is one hell of a fast lap, beating the GTI Clubsport S by 4 seconds. I'm sure it is a stellar driving experience.
The problem is the looks. I couldn't imagine driving a car that looks like that every day. I'm 47 years old and would be a bit embarrassed getting out of it at a client. The size of the rear wing is stupid and the tacky body, while I'm sure is functional, is not pleasing to the eye at all. It's just a matter of taste. The people this car appeals to the most, can't afford it or can't even drive.

274 MPH top speed on the final straight. Damn impressive. But it's ugly as sin.

It's always been an impressive car.
You need to think of the Type R as a different car. The evolution lancer vs the regular lancer. |

Ah. Of course you're right. I was thinking American!

I'm pretty sure it will cost the same as a Golf R or Focus RS when it arrives in the USA. I know it's AWD vs FWD so it's not a direct competitor in driving experience but price wise they are competitors.
If it were $30k, I can see this being a great offering. At $40k, it's a hard sell.
