I feel like a HB vs a sedan is a pretty big difference as far as a Canadian/US difference. Trim levels and small things like heated steering wheels is more on par with the differences you’ll see.
Quoting this because I feel the exact same way. An Si hatch is a no brainer, yet Honda fails to see it. The argument that it’ll steal sales from the CTR is strange. They are two different buyer groups at their price points.
Now you’re killing me. So anxious for the HB release and to find out what trims will get a manual. (Feel free to PM me ;) ) Sad about the Si being a sedan. Missed opportunity.
