There's more to just the sidewall thickness that changes the handling sharpness. psi, different tire models have different stiffness, etc etc. all play a role. These cars are driven on public roads 99% of the time. More sidewall means less chance of destroying the tires/wheels.

Thanks, didn't want to go back 8 pages to find this. It sounds like Honda listened and went with 19s. 20s were just plain stupid and for aesthetic purposes IMO. It would make even more sense that the new one comes with 19s since the test mule appeared to have 19s from the FK2.

Anyone have any Sherlock skills and can see if the teaser car has 19 or 20 wheels?

Not sure what Honda/Acura is smoking. Why pay 33k for a FWD 200hp hatch when you could just buy a 30k GR86 with RWD 230hp and an LSD.

I wish the US got the lower spec Sport with the 1.5T. The Sport Touring is kind of bloated if you just want a sporty little fun hatch.

Hmmm, I would imagine Honda to produce the Type R in one factory and not multiple factories since it’s pretty low volume.

Is the Civic hatch only being built in the Indiana plant? For example, I thought the Japanese market Civic hatch would be built in a Japanese factory. Also, how certain is the 11th gen Type R will be built in Indiana?

The front vents look much bigger than an FK8, which makes me think it could be Honda testing some new Acura with the new 3.0 turbo.

These look like two different cars or taken at different times. One photo has the trailer hitch while the other one doesn’t. This may have AWD due to the weird exhaust pipe routing to make room for the drive shaft and or rear differential. The Camry will be getting AWD soon, which makes me...

The back end of the mule is definitely hacked up. Just look at the frankenstein exhaust. Therefore, we should probably stop trying to read too much based on the back half of the mule. I also wouldn't look too much at the front end either. Honda can easily fool the public by slapping on...

Isn’t it weird that the 11th gen CTR gets leaked before the base 11th gen? Any guesses where this will be manufactured? Ohio plant?

@Anthony FK8 , the rears might be toasting because the computer is braking for you to rotate the car. Did you try to disable traction control in +R mode? This doesn't defeat 100% of the traction control system, but it will turn off most of it. I've also read people putting the car into a...

All 10th gen Civics have the ability to adjust front camber, including the Type R. See link below. http://www.civicx.com/threads/factory-alignment-procedures-and-specifications.15163/ Rear camber isn't adjustable from the factory, however, SPC makes adjustable rear upper control arms. You...
