Pre sales of the CRZ are apparently way beyond the expectation of Honda, so I doubt if they will lose money on it. As for a type r version, I would be surprised. My opinion is that the CRZ is a stop gap to generate interest in Honda while they sort out the re-design of the new Civic. A little niche car that should sell reasonably well and will probably be a cult car in years to come.
Only my opinion though. I have been occasionally wrong in the past
