The US Spec 2017 Civic Type R revealed

So It’s official, no type r for me

It's a shame the Si doesn't come as a hatch.

Yea, but truth be told the SI is pretty lame now. It has only 20 more HP than this car and doesnt have all the features this car has.

The SI does have some nice upgrades as far as audio and leather wheel/shifter and suspension over an EX-T. Still awfully sad it's using a tweaked 1.5 from the EX-T though. Rev-hang is a huge issue here, too. Shortest test drive ever for me, onto the frontage road and right back to the dealer lol.

Looking at the Type R it seems if you get it in black you can hide some of the ricer silliness. The overdone red accents inside will be hard to subdue.

Here's hoping Honda doesnt eff up the 2.0/6MT combo in the new Accord. I thought I could live with a CVT as my daily. I was wrong, and can't wait to get out of it.

Yes but you can't even get honda sense which is standard on the sport touring , along with the leather and upgraded audio.

So is this going to be the new thing...how many mufflers can we put off of one exhaust pipe?

 

[RedBeard]

If it does as Honda intended and maintain the performance noise without drone at cruising I see no problem with it.

 

[SleeperLS]

Honda and performance noise in the same sentence?
