I have full faith in Honda to make sure this car will do the same. You don't wait 15 years to bring back a car to not have full confidence that what you made won't be good. I have no issue with FF. I'm sure the car will be as fun as the original. And I'm sure it will give the competition a run for their money as well.
Long story short, I had no issues with the original Type R's being FF and have no issue with the new Type R being FF. I think people are just making it a big deal for no reason.

I don't want to be bench racers, but people make a big deal out of it because the released specs are subpar, being more of a city car than a highway cruise missile.
The first thing I looked at is 0-100... which is 5.3 seconds, that is slower than the Golf R, Focus RS, STi... and my EVO apparently. It's not due to Honda put a bad engine in there, the engine output is fine, on par or higher than most of the competition, but it fails to get off the line because of the FWD layout... that's why people make a big deal out of it...
Other than that, yes, I am sure Honda has done their homework, I would expect the R to at least hang with the competition....
And I'm sure it will give the competition a run for their money as well. sorry to break it to you... but that is just not gonna happen... beating the competition in some tests for sure, but no where destroying them....
