Every car manufacturer is different, take the new Lexus LC 500 for example, the production version was shown last year at pebble beach, shown again at the Detroit Auto Show with pricing, suppose to go on sale May of this year.
Should b in dealers by june, ive talked to my dealership yesterday to let them know when ever they get one to contact me. He said he will but they're most likely getting 1-2 typeR at a time random colors/specs. He also said that honda will most likely tell them to hold typeR for about 2 months so people can see it. They've done the same with the pilot
Since the NYIAS is the next American auto show coming up, it would make sense they would make a debut there too, like they did last year at SEMA.
Agreed - and after NYIAS, I don't know if there is another big manufacturers show in the US. I feel like it's the NOPI or TunerEvolution shows until SEMA in November. It pretty much has to be at NYIAS unless they just don't do a show and let them show up one day... which I highly doubt will happen.
Lol yeah im sure they'll be strict with that
That's just what he told me. I went to ask him if he knew anything about the Si as I plan on buying one. So I didn't really ask him about the Type-R. But he told me he knew that much about the Type-R and hasn't been told anything about the Si (very frustrating).
I saw a click-bait-ish article that said the same. It also said the car would get a CVT option, so not sure how factual this is.
I know there won't be a cvt automatic. It will stay a 6 speed manual. But yeah maybe you are right. The wait is starting to get to me lol. And I've been telling others to just wait lol. Ugh
I was going to make a posting up here about the clickbaits to try to 'save' us all from giving them clicks... one of them went as far as to say, quite specifically, 'the new model would wear Piano black wheels and have a grained-look finish.' I was like - NEXT!I know there won't be a cvt automatic. It will stay a 6 speed manual. But yeah maybe you are right. The wait is starting to get to me lol. And I've been telling other to just wait. Ugh
Thinking also of going to Geneva but I'm not very decided.Welcome!Hi everybody,
I am as eager as you to see this 10'th gen Civic type R. I am browsing the forum daily.
I drive a Bmw 420D as daily driver for the moment but I am looking for something having more sport capabilities. I am not a fan of a particular brand.
Last year I did a test drive with the Euro Type R hatch FK2. Overall nice capable car, loved the instruments cluster, racing ambiance, 34.000 euros ok price but... Seating position was too high for my tastes, I prefer a sporty lower one like in the Bmw. Access (out) was a bit difficult without rubbing the tall seat bolsters every time. Steering was quite vague in feeling(Bmw EPS is not a reference but still gives a better feel). Apparent minor things were a deal breaker.
Now for this one I'm waiting to come out, see reviews especially from owners. For this amount of money (close to 35-40k) I do have some expectations. I want a car more pleasant to drive than what I have. I don't care much if it will break the 'Ring record again. I do not plan to track it too soon and going over 150 km/h on Autobahn is rather boring. I want sport ambiance, fantastic road feel, things that make me enjoy the time spent in it. I need to test it before deciding. Taking it a few hours, highway, national, city.
I read the stories about North American car purchases (mark-ups, car quotas per dealership, having to buy from stock). Here in Europe is different. I do not know about ultra limited/exotics(200k+ cars) but for normal cars you can buy whatever you want even below MSRP (5-20% is not uncommon also for premium brands). Once entered through the dealership's door you get usually the model you look for. Also getting a test car for couple hours/day/wend is usual practice(esp premium brands).
Supposedly there will not be any Type R left for me, it's fine. There are/will be plenty of alternatives (at least here). Upcoming ST, Renault Megane RS, Renault Alpine, 718 Cayman, Mustang Eco/GT. Although not that hardcore, Bmw cars can give more satisfaction than the average sedan when specked right. If Honda doesn't want to take the money then they'll go to other manufacturer. There will be better opportunities for us purists/enthusiasts for quite some time to come(niche is still big enough), I would not worry. Rather time works in my favor as a buyer, perhaps I'll afford to stretch more my budget as time passes. I'll just wait.
