This is it... 2023 Civic Type R Leaked on Honda Japan Website! 📸

Allocations are september

So, you think it will be September before any dealers know the allocations they’ll receive? Seems crazy to think Canada knows theirs weeks before the car debuts, but we wouldn’t know until the car is almost released?

One local dealer here in Atlanta said they’d know allocations mid august

Trying to bring out those character lines and more details at the expense of some color shift.

No we don’t, nothing can save that car

Just an expensive SI hatchback. I love mine and waiting for the TypeS.

People forget, integra always has been acura badged civic.

Yep, but in this case it’s glorified ILX hatch

Yep, but in this case it’s glorified ILX hatch

Which was based off of a 9th gen civic.. so yep that's true

Would be nice if power, weight, and MSRP would all just accidentally leak.

That FK2 front end is

This FK8 vs FL5 reminds me of every generation change...is pointless to argue with someone that loves the FK8 and is ok. The reason the FK8 exist was because the Honda marketing team found a market (supporters of the FK8) for it.

Now, Honda wants to sell to another market segment and is ok. Lamborghini owners are differnt from Porsche owners and...That is totaly fine. If we all wanted the same thing, life would be a boring place. Long live diversity!

Our need to scale things fron good to bad is one of many reasons why we get this sort of arguments and tribal thinking. The FK8 is an amazing car. The KING of hot hatchs and that says a lot about what Honda achieve with the FK8.

The FL5 has BIG shoes to fill in and only time will tell if the FL5 will continue the legacy of the Civic Type R.

That is what I want in a civic Type R. A car that gives homage to the history, the soul of TYPE R. Regardless of how it looks.

I just want a new 4-door with performance and three pedals. Less than a handful of cars meet that criteria and don’t break your wallet.

There’s the Golf GTI/R, GR Corolla, Blackwing, and G80 M3. Am I missing any?

I’m pretty sure the FL5 will be the lightest out of the group (or at worst similar to GTI in curb weight).

i honestly think this will be better...just for the fact it comes with wider tires and the stance is much meaner....meaning it's probably been amped up pretty hard on the track. i'm hoping honda isn't doing their usual stupid shit of only a couple more horsepower and claiming the most powerful ever, i'd love to see the 330ish area. i loved my fk8, but driving a new hatch compared to the old hatch it makes me more excited, with the interior alone being such an upgrade.

This seems a little too toned down from what it will be, no red outline on the bottom lips and skirts. We will see though
