There's clearly a lot of hate for this car lol and it's obvious...the type R is literally the opposite of the Z!
Yes, I think the car is extremely ugly and even if it were aesthetically designed in a way that I like I would still choose the Z for the obvious reasons. However, I have to give credit where it's due. The car, for what it does, is super impressive! Looks are obviously subjective. The price seems to be in the ball park of the competitors, but at the end of the day a buyer will pay whatever they think the value of the car is.
Basically the type R sucks and Zs are the best
