I could see a hybrid being introduced at some point, but with it will probably go the manual as well. But figure the pure ICE Si will continue on at least for this full generation before possibly making the change over for the 12th gen.
Interesting that Honda estimates the 0-60 so slow for the hybrid... I've read/watched a few reviews out of the UK and most of them rate the 0-60 time quite a bit quicker in the 7-7.3 range. You'd assume, making all that instant torque a roughly the same hp would result in numbers same or better...
I doubt Honda will throw away the name recognition of the civic after 50 years just because they're electrifying the lineup. I know a lot of other brands are doing away with old nameplates and fully replacing with new EV names (Kia/Hyundai for example). But I suspect Honda will want to keep the...
It definitely reads more gray in most pictures... but being a pearl color, different lighting will produce different looks similar to boost blue or sonic gray.
What Honda heard: "We never use the adjustable dampers, they're pointless"
What customers were actually saying: "The dampers don't do enough to change the character of the car from one mode to another"
So rather than fix the adjustable dampers and make them better, they just took them out all...
I think Motortrend had an updated article about the dyno results this morning. From what I saw, it looked like on the same dyno, the 10th gen rated lower in horsepower compared to the 11th (201 vs 220) but rated higher in torque (233 vs 210).
Advertised versus actual horsepower. The 10th gens 1.5T were under rated by a fair margin with CVT models dyno'd making close to 200hp at the crank (and 180+ at the wheels) while the 11th gens dyno much much closer to their advertised 180hp (therefore much less at the wheels) plus the added...
Not surprising given that you're combining the lower output 2.0L with huge 18" wheels. Someone once told me, 18" wheels on anything with less than 200hp is hurting more than helping.
The ILX uses an 8-Speed DCT, yes. The first generation TLX also used this transmission on the base 2.4L engine. The new TLX uses the 10-Speed automatic.
I'd agree with those points. I think it'll come down to a few factors for most people assuming the base integra and ST hatch more or less price about the same.
Someone who maybe doesn't love the new civic styling be SO sedate will prefer the Acura. Someone that puts more value on performance...
Sonic Gray changes color ALOT in various lighting situations. Sometimes leaning more blue, sometimes almost lavender, sometimes more of a cement gray. Its really difficult to compare one picture of that color to another, or even one car to another unless they're right next to eachother in the...
Probably to resurrect it in a few years as a low slung electric crossover a la Mustang Mach E.
Joking aside, I think they're going to put the Camaro on a hiatus and probably reintroduce the nameplate on an electric muscle coupe with their next gen Ultium platform. Ford has already mentioned...
Yea. I had some hopes for the new WRX but that styling is just ... so bad. haha. Also not a fan of the toyota or the new elantras.
I'm hoping to stick to around $33k in terms of budget. And the fact that I'm about 90% sold on the new civics, that's why I feel like the Integra will be the sweet...
My reasoning for something like the BRZ/86 is RWD.... I live in the midwest... I need a fun car that can be my DD even through a bad winter and having never driven RWD I wouldn't trust myself to safely get through a bad winter in one. I need FWD or AWD. I love coupes, and pretty much all...
Mostly just the idea of spending $30k on something slower than my current coupe and not as sporty looking. I'm not saying the ST hatch isn't nice, but I'm not 100% sold on the styling of the new civics compared to my 10th gen coupe, and the performance hit would bug me. The Integra (which should...
The mazda3 hatch is/was high on my list as well. I sat in one (never test drove) at an auto show and was shocked at how cramped the interior felt, but I'm sure I'd get used to it over time. Having mostly ruled out the Civic HB ST for my next car my main 3 options are keeping my 19' EX coupe, the...
My mileage usually drops a couple mpg in the winter... either due to the bad roads making it harder for the car to roll, or because I use my remote start when it's really cold.
I sincerely wish I had a car in mind that I really wanted. If the integra was already on sale I would sell my civic coupe, find a fair dealer willing to sell at MSRP, and pocket the extra cash I didn't use for a down payment. It'll be interesting to see where things stand next spring when the...
That's insane....
But I also saw a 2021 CTR LE listed the other day online for $67k
I was also curious about what I'd get for my 2019 EX coupe and was shocked that Carmax was going to offer me $25k for my 3 year old car that only stickered for $23k brand new... that car market is a damn mess.
