Yeah. Seems like a '16 Civic with an MT could hide a lot easier in plain sight than in cammo.

Sigh... I wanted to see a pic of the shifter... considering the doors were wide open too. Can't guarantee this will be on leather cars since this is only an EX-T. Then again, you'd use the cheapest chassis for a test mule.

It's the same exact shifter as in the LX model.

So basically like this, with the same knob and leather shifter boot. Anyways, this is simply a cobbled together mule for testing purposes, not to be used as any indication of which trim(s) it would be offered on. They are still in the early stages of testing.

The mule should of been the CVT mated to the 1.5
What? Why? Considering that the vehicle is in production and ready to buy...

Lol why the camo?? Pretty sure we kno what it looks like but the C in the camo is pretty cool
:agree:

I'm pretty sure if they just dipped it around without the camo, people would see it and be like 'hey look. There goes a nerd in a civic. Meh. Lets sit here until we see an Si/TypeR/NSX/S600/S2000/S2200/Asimo/HondaJet/RuckusSquad but pay no attention to that normal looking Civic sedan...' hahahaha. Oh well. Still, glad to see it is at least to test phase. Not sure how long it takes to go from test to production and sales, but I'd guess 9 months or less?

Also, in that first pic, are they seriously 'guarding' the car? That's kinda what it looks like!
