The look of the headlights remind me of when I drove a '91 Integra that had fog lamps on the same field of view as the headlamps. I would get flashed all the damn time for having my fogs on. I can imagine 11th gen owners will get similar reactions from other drivers when they see the headlights on.

That's absolutely ridiculous. That's Type R price a few years ago. That said, I bet the 11th gen Type R is going to start $50K or more... Geezus

The lack of the lcd gauge and shift lights is disappointing... And U.S. buyers pay MORE... damn, we dun pissed off Honda! lol

I'm thinking the use of CVTs over DCTs for Civics is probably more a cost decision than an efficiency decision, though. Honda can afford to put a dual clutch transmission in the Acura line because that market can afford and expect a DCT transmission. That said, I've driven my CVT equipped Civic...

The days of me driving a manual has long gone but I still enjoy a fun ride and perhaps Integra with a boosted engine and DCT transmission might fit the bill. Don't get me wrong - I've driven many manuals in my lifetime but not anymore. My guess is that the DCT will add $1,000-$1,500 option to...

I haven't come across an 11th gen in Sonic Gray but I will say that the SG paint on my FK7 hatch can look drastically different at varying times of the day depending on how the sun catches it. I've gotten compliments about my "blue" to "silver" Civic - lol.

OP, your edit of the rear window makes me think of the Crosstour... kinda.

$15K markup? The dealership should just go to around $20K markup and then say: "You buy a Civic Sport Touring and you get a Civic Sedan LX for free!" LMAO.

Mannnnn, 230 hp and 200 tq would’ve sounded so niiiiice. Good enough a bump to invigorate the loyalists and new buyers but not enough to step on Integra’s toes… c’mon Honda. Really?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The lack of lumber support is a feature... You're just sitting in it wrong... /s

I'm going to wait to see what Honda offers with the "new" Acura Integra... But if that drags on or is stupid expensive, I'll probably consider reuniting with a GTI or a Mazda3 turbo.

Redline Reviews vid: Over 8 seconds 0-60 test runs... huh. Yes, I know acceleration isn't everything but still would've hoped a newer gen would have better numbers than the previous versions... edit: Topher's vid: I timed his 0-60 run and yes there's variables there with video and me timing it...

$4,000 markup for a car that makes 158 hp in today's auto market? I would be LMAO all the way out the door. Heck, even the ST version with 180 hp is still suspect for any markup. How the heck can that salesman keep a straight face telling anyone there's a markup on a Civic? Type R? Yeah, I...

The spoiler looks decent on the white hatch.
