If you watch the technology video on the Honda 1.5L it has variable exhaust lift, which has been branded on the Type R as VTEC and on the very same 1.5L in other markets besides North America.
Why they chose to remove the VTEC branding is confusing, but the feature is definitely there.
I don't...
I feel the same way. We have a large sedan (Malibu) for when we need to carry stuff or people. I had zero requirements for passenger or cargo space, and I could have done with much less than the coupe offers.
I regularly think about what it would be like if they focused even more on styling...
I hope not. At least, if they modify and squeeze 230-240 HP out of the current 1.5T we won't have any more easy modding for power.
Maybe if they give us a detuned 2.0T or a new engine in between at 1.7 or 1.8T.

I saw pictures of someone who mounted the Wilwood 6 piston kit and it cleared the OEM Si wheel without spacers. The fit was very close, however. Do you know if the fitment with the oem wheels is safe?
