Officially Revealed: 2017 Honda Civic Type R with 306 hp / 295 lb-ft

What is everyones beef with the 20's? What are you going to complain about next....the heavily bolstered seats? Brakes are too big?

This isn't a car that is built for getting groceries and hauling the soccer balls.

Thank you Sir cannot say better

If it sounds like this.. almost like a Volvo T5

sounds like a firing order that's been altered ... like a crossplane crank configuration !?

Have you driven a new Mustang? The motor is nice but the car is an absolute bore to drive, it has no character at all. Ford made it too refined, too easy to drive....I know that sounds wrong and weird but it's true.

I drove it for our weeding cos my wife wanted to rent one. After nights asking lord forgiveness and using some holy water .. I really realized what a boring cheaply made car thats why you get all that specs for that price. Then thanked god my dad raised me with Hondas and Italian cars

I love it, but thought it would be a 2018 MY. This makes me want to wait another 6-7 months for the 2018 as this will have a birthday within 8 months of release. By then the demand will cool down and we'll have some of the bugs worked out. In the mean time...anxiously awaiting the reviews.

My sister has a new Mustang GT (6 spd) and I must say it felt heavy, dull, and fairly slow. It handled worse than my Accord hybrid. The ZL1 however...

Italian cars .... they say that Honda had a close look at the Alfa-Romeo GTV coupe back when they designed the 8th Gen ... very similar in weight and wheelbase

So what do we think will differ between the UK version and the USA version? Hopefully not too much...

I'll deal with it, where I live the roads are a catastrophe. Considering NJ pays some of the highest taxes in the country they should all look like racetracks, but they don't. I live with 215/40/18s on my Mugen so I guess I'll learn to deal with those as well. Don't get me wrong, I don't have an issue with them as far as it's a 20" wheel WTF, it's more of a I don't want to change wheels and tires monthly. I do plan on getting the tire and wheel protection from honda so there's that.

I have no idea, I like it, haters will always hate though.

It almost needs 20's to look in proportion with the bulky bodywork IMO.

It should be the exact same car all around the world, minus side marker colour and legal things. It will be the same car from what I've read.

Do we have any information on all safety features included for the US model?

Not yet, I still see nothing on the reveal yet either.. might see something shortly here. Stay tuned.

 

[bobafettm]

I'm going to be very disappointed if Euro spec gets all the safety nannies such as sensing and yet US spec doesn't... it's one of the key reasons why I put money down assuming it would be like the previous model type R with great daily functions!

 

[lbiaggi]

do you think price and rest of info will be released at NYIAS? or earlier?
