Theres no confirmation that the new 2023 Type R is getting an automatic yet. But the good news for you is the new Acura Integra is basically the Civic Si with a few bonus amenities and have an automatic transmission.
Hasn't that always been the case though? It just lets the engine alternate between low lift and higher lift to maximize efficiency (whether thats fuel economy or performance)
The turbocharger is supplying enough extra air that it negates the use for higher-lift lobes on the intake cam, on the...
This is why I'm okay with them making special editions for the collectors/brand boosting. Make the non-special edition accessible and practical for the masses.
Hopefully production isn't artificially limited by Honda.
Yeah I'm also most excited about seeing those vents in detail. Also curious to see how the splitter, skirts and rear looks like. I was kinda disappointed that the Civic Si visually had basically nothing different from say a civic sport other than the Si badge. Safe to say that won't be a problem...
I'm 32 and planning on getting the new Type R (assuming the price stays reasonable). I'm planning to keep this car forever as well, so I'll likely be 60 and still rocking it.
My understanding was the middle pipe was a resonator for more sound at low speeds and less sound at highway speeds to reduce drone (but someone correct me if I'm wrong on that). Maybe the larger resonator means a deeper, louder growl? Either way I'm liking the finish on those exhaust tips!!
The 2 seater vs 4/5 seater part is also one of the big reasons why I don't find the Renault "record" to really be valid vs the CTR. Its still very impressive but totally different category at that point.
If they want to claim its a production car record then don't make it some exclusive...
Just incase people were still wondering how much weight the extra features bring to the Si:
USA Si - 2906 lbs
USA Touring - 3077 lbs
CAN Si - 2998 lbs
CAN Touring - 3022 lbs
Not sure what the difference in features is between the USA/CAN Touring but apparently its 50 lbs worth (Note: All the...
Yep, assuming Honda hasn't changed their production line set-ups compared to the 10th gen, the Type Rs were built on the exact same line as the regular civic hatchbacks. They would just sprinkle some CTRs among the regular hatchbacks.
Yeah I'm not a fan either. I'm first on the list at my dealership and I fully expect to pass on the first CTR since its likely going to be CW. Honestly I'll take any colour thats not CW or red (already have a red car).
I had originally said keep the carbon fiber for the special edition and you said you disagreed and would rather they have everything in one version though.
