I love the Honda-hater mentality.
'Everyone has an Integra Type-R'
'I see hundreds of Integras but only one SVT ever'
A quick look at the number of Type-Rs in this country vs. Contour SVTs in this country will show that there are less Type-Rs. And how can you compare every single Integra to just the SVTs.
I know I live here in one of the most backwards parts of the country, but I see many more Contour SVTs than I see Type-Rs.
Having said all that, I think for someone over 25 years old that doesn't see much track time, the Contour SVT is a better choice. Cheaper, more versatily, more comfortable, nicer interior, A/C and exclusive enough.
Only my opinion.
