Styling is subjective, but you can at least distinguish a 10th gen Si from the other trims on the road. It'll probably be a better drive, but this is the least ambitious Si since the EP3 imo.
A lot has changed in 5 years. Theres so many nuisances that can make a car faster that engineers can play with. The new GT3 is 16 seconds faster than the last one, with identical weight and power figures. It got there with wider tracks, a longer wheelbase, more downforce, and a new tire...
Looks really good imo, aside from the wing. I know this sounds crazy, but I think a ring time in the 7:30s is possible, assuming the power to weight ratio is at least the same as the FK8. Can't wait to see it in motion.
Good point on the TLX engine lineup. I used the VW/Audi comparison because that's the closet delta to use outside of looking within Honda. The A3 and MK8 Golf are on the same platform and interior, tech, and build quality are on par. The gap between the brands is more relevant from A4 and up...
Then why'd they...
Never mind.
There's so many reasons why that's the wrong line of thought imo, but that's beyond me. I'm just grateful for a new Integra.
I can see the Type S coming in at that price, only if they position it below the new CTR.
Which imo, is dumb. But with the TLX Type S being as slow as it is, it makes sense from a marketing perspective to hold the Integra back. Only Honda could be this backwards. Just give us the choice of a...
A couple of contemporary points.
The ILX is based on the 9th Gen Civic, which itself is based on the 8th Gen. So the ILX is the nicest 2006 Civic you can buy in 2021. The cost of that car has long been amortized, and that’s partly why it’s priced so aggressively.
The new TLX is 4K more than the...
Idk how people expect a 29k Integra... when a 30k Civic exist. Even with a 1.5T, an Integra at around 33k is still worth the premium on the strength of it being superior in design, quality, and dealer experience. If it comes with an LSD, manual, and Si engine, that's just a better version of the...
Damn. I guess the money for bespoke bumpers for the Si went to electrification Lol. No doubt it'll be an objectively better car overall, but with an extra 100 plus pounds with the same 1.5 liter, any increase in accelaration will be neglible at best. So far I'm disappointed.
True, but you can see how the gap widens as the lines move toward the top of the hood. It's a small but perceptible difference. The rake on the 11th gen is similar to the 3 Series, but it works on the BMW because of how long it's dash-to-axle ratio is. It doesn't help that on the 11th gen it...
Interior is a big step up. 10th gens cabin is more driver-focused but 11th gen just looks like a nicer place to be in. Love how thin the a-pillars are and the relocation of the mirrors. The Si's been at 200 hp since people were on Myspace. Hopefully they give it the K20 it deserves with the Type...
Ever since someone here mentioned how much more upright the windshield is versus the 10th gen, I can't unsee it. This is the awkwardness that comes with trying to make a fwd car look rwd. The body surfacing is much improved though and I still think it will look best in class. But I also feel...
I see I'm in the minority, but I love sportbacks so I'm excited for this. The rear overhang looks shorter than the sedan and it looks like It'll have full-length taillamps. Fingers crossed for it having the integrated spoiler as well. Hopefully it looks more Audi than Hyundai.
Definitely more subdued and less youthful, but looks much more upscale. They played it safe because they've been getting flamed over the past five years over how busy the styling of the 10th gen is. Happy that the car is no larger and hopefully weight doesn't increase much. Patiently waiting for...
