2023 Civic Type R Parked up in Championship White (California)

[DPE]

Journalists getting a hold of them yet? I'm sure it's embargoed for a while longer, but could they be starting to hand them out to the press?

I wish there was a VIN

I’ve been running the vin’s on IN daily, but nothing found. Pre production only

Japanese headlights are the first thing I upgrade

I'll throw on some 20mm wheel spacers and maybe some lowering springs. You see that ww gap? I know it's not a great angle, but yikes.

Spacing oem wheels is horrible…I’ll have a set of TE’s waiting for the car. They should be here by the end of the month

Man, everyone does TEs, I feel like I’m still in high school…in 1999

It’s the best wheel ever made I put them on almost every car I own even my old 1991 GTI

Looks great but I share the general sentiment… what the hell?

I’m not denying they are a great wheel, I’m just saying it’s been put on everything by everyone…for like the last 20+ years.

DST plate might mean they are getting sent to journalists as we speak?

This is what I found when searching what that plate meant:

New Vehicle Distributor - Cannot be used on service vehicles. Only one plate is required on the vehicle. Per California Vehicle Code 296, 9262, 11715

 

[Whitboy82]

Found this…


It means the tag belongs to the manufacturer.

It’s not a dealer tag per say , but rather is used for manufacturers reps to drive. Or for them to move cars from place to place.

For example the Toyota motor company has reps who call on dealers and they are issued a company car to Travel to their dealers so they have a distributor plate.

So any thoughts as to why a 2023 Type R is chilling in someone’s apartment complex? Lol

Personally I think maybe someone is reviewing it? Thats the only thing I can think of but I feel like its too early to let journalists review right?

Is it just me or why does that front looks like riding high? Like at least 2 inches higher....!?!?

That 3421 plate almost always goes with a journalist/review work, so I think they are going to get their hands on soon if not already.

"So I have been driving the Civic Type R for a few months now and I have some thoughts"

-MKBHD, Probably...

Edited: to show sarcasm.
