That's definitely true!! Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a month, we'll see if dealerships around here come down closer to MSRP. There should be more Type R's coming to California in November. On average I've seen $5K markups around CA.
Just trying to get one, but at almost $68K, it...
I guess I should have clarified that I wasn't talking about Honda as a whole, but just the models that I talked about - which you didn't mention in your quote...
The main focus was to show that these specific models that I mentioned shared basically the same engine platform. The Civic Si/ Type...
You're probably right. lol.
Like most of you guys just irritates me how they didn't put the 2.0T in the Si. I don't recall a time when a lower performance model didn't share an engine platform with the high performance model.
With a little help from Wikipedia for some of the specs I don't...
I was honestly hoping that Honda would have a de-tuned Type R 2.0T for the Civic Si with 220-230hp, the next ILX to have a slightly upgraded 2.0T engine with 250hp, and Honda Fit Si with the Civic Hatchback Sport's 1.5T with 180hp.
I feel that this lineup would have made Honda very competitive...
I have to say I'm pretty disappointed like everyone else. Most people wanted a detuned 2.0T. In the case of the Type-R's previous engines, B16B and the K20A, the Civic Si had basically the same engine platform (B16A2 & K20Z3) but not as high performing as the Type-R engine. That was somewhat...
I also want to share a little bit of information regarding the license plate on the Type R that I took a video of. Those are manufacturer license plates from Honda. About two years ago, one of my best friends sent me a photo of a Honda that she did not recognize. When I saw the picture, it was a...
Yes I apologize for that, I took the video on my Snapchat, hence the low video quality. I have a Samsung Galaxy S7, so i presume that the quality of the video would have been much better had I not taken the video on Snapchat! Hopefully sometime in the future I can catch something else and I'll...
To be honest with you, I didn't hear the exhaust note very well in person. They didn't do a hard pull or anything like that - maybe because the driver saw me recording :dunno: lol
But yeah, I was at a stop light waiting to go straight when I see this car in my rear-view mirror with wicked LED...
I actually thought there weren't badges at all, but I just took screenshot of the video and zoomed in on it a minute ago, and you can see that they covered the badging with white vinyl wrap. Won't do much for us enthusiasts because we already know what it is :thumbsup:
Hey CivicX members! Just want to share something with you guys today. I was on my way home and I managed see this unicorn near Honda Corporate headquarters in SoCal. Sorry for the jittery video, I was excited lol. But who wouldn't be? Enjoy!
Feel free to share the video!
