Sorry for all the pictures. Just figured you would all want this information.
It also appears that Honda Sensing is not an available feature to get on the Sport model.

Starting to grow on me a bit...

 

[whudgens]

Wow 540 watts!!! Thank you for the new brochure!! This is great! - take my money now!

Maybe I'm blind, but it looked like the sport touring pictures had blacked out accents, instead of chrome. But I don't see "black" listed anywhere in the trim levels.

 

[Jay.DeVries]

I just got done with the training for the new hatch. Honda also says in the training that the power steering and CVT have been adjusted for a sportier feel.

Now if it only included the prices, and when I can get me one

 

[NorthernEX-T]

No manual for Sport Touring will disappoint a few people. I have my eyes on an LX, should be cheapish I hope.

 

[moomamichelle]

Awww no Burgundy Night Pearl or Cosmic Blue.

 

[AdamWeishaupt]

Only way to get the 12 speakers, is to also get 18" wheels? No regular non-sport touring trim? That's a shame.. I might just need to get over the wheel size.

Seeing this just pisses me off all over again that they shat so hard on manual enthusiasts with this car. The sport is a joke. Literally zero useful features over the lx. I reallllly wanted to convince myself I can compromise and deal with Honda's crap packaging for the hatch manual, (overlooking the lack of AA/CarPlay, heated seats, crappy 4 speaker stereo, no camera) but I honestly cannot make myself spend money on a brand new car that doesn't have variable intermittent wipers. WTF Honda.

 

[gtman]

I agree 100%. No heated side mirrors either. Pretty basic stuff these days. And a 4 speaker stereo in the Sport? The hatch will be sold at a premium price.

Truthfully, I think the best bet for a manual enthusiast who doesn't want something so stripped of features are the upcoming EX-T sedans and coupes with a manual. Don't understand why the EX hatch doesn't get a manual. It's a very odd choice by Honda.

Have you checked out the European hatch lineup? It's much more feature packed than what we get. Adjustable dampers. Real blind spot and cross traffic (radar) monitoring. Why does the US get the shaft?

 

[mpdescha]

If they sell the sport 6mt for a higher price than the sedan ex-t 6mt they are loony. At this point it almost seems like a deliberate attempt to make the manual obsolete. "See no one wants a manual, so we're discontinuing it." Yeah, because you offered it in the shitcan models. You're not slick, Honda.

 

[Jay.DeVries]

From a dealership point of view, anytime we ever order a manual, it sits forever. But like you said, it may be because it isn't offered in any desirable models.

 

[gtman]

Jay that's what it is. It's the which came first, chicken or the egg analogy. Manuals are generally only offered in the more basic models. But there are plenty of people that like amenities AND performance. Matter of fact, the Mazda3 S Grand touring models come with the manual and I've read that over 10% of those top of the line models are sold with the manual trans. Now 10% isn't huge but it's still a decent chunk of sales.

I'm more PO'ed at the amount of extra tech and performance features the European hatch is getting over the North American version:

http://www.automotiveworld.com/news-releases/new-2017-civic-hatchback/

Look at the additional safety tech on the Euro models:

The Honda SENSING suite of active safety technologies includes:

• Collision Mitigation Braking System: helps to bring the car to a stop if the system determines that a collision with a vehicle detected in front is unavoidable.
• Lane Departure Warning: will detect if the car is straying out of its current lane without the turn signal being activated.
• Road Departure Mitigation: uses data from the windscreen-mounted camera to detect whether the car is veering off the road. It uses the Electric Power Steering (EPS) to apply subtle corrections to keep the vehicle in its lane, and in certain situations can also apply braking force.
• Lane Keeping Assist System: helps to keep the car in the middle of the current lane, by detecting road markings and making small steering adjustments to steer the vehicle within the white lines.
• Adaptive Cruise Control: allows the driver to set a desired speed and following distance from a vehicle detected ahead.
• Traffic Sign Recognition: detects and automatically recognises road signs and displays the signs on the car’s instrument binnacle’s
• Intelligent Speed Assistance: combines the automatic speed limit set by the driver with TSR to automatically adjust the vehicle speed to that indicated by the last road sign
• Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control: Predicts and automatically reacts to other vehicles ‘cutting-in’ on multi-lane highways.

Further safety technologies in the all-new Civic include:

• Blind Spot Information: uses radar technology to automatically detect and alert of vehicles in the driver’s blind spot
• Cross Traffic Monitor: uses rear side radar sensors to warn the driver of approaching vehicles when reversing
• Multi-angle rear view camera: provides the driver with options for complete visibility and therefore peace-of-mind when reversing; a normal 130 degree view, a wide 180 degree view and a top-down view

And check this out:

The Euro hatch has a button on the console to adjust the ride.
I feel like the US gets the inferior version of the car.

Wow this trim level stuff is absolute bonkers. If only you could combined EX + Sport but not go all the way to Sport Touring. Too much stuff on the Sport Touring that I don't need.
