2017 civic si
Based on redline reviews' promise of their video coming 12:01am EST on 5/30 (from fb post). Thought we could start a thread collecting links once they start popping up. If anybody saw an earlier date please post it here.

So in the headline the reviewer states that it's lost some of its magic and then proceeds to not elaborate on that at all o_O

He can't, the "driving impressions" were part of the Honda press embargo until next week or June 6th, depending on who you believe.

As pessimistic about the Si as I am, screw Consumer Reports.

I've never seen them NOT complain about the ride quality of anything that isn't a Toyota or Lexus. I'm not a hardcore driver that would accept stiff suspension "because racecar", but the Si is not going to be that bad. And just the tone of his voice when he said it only comes as a manual just highlights what kind of people run Consumer Reports.

Well in that case he's already broken the embargo by saying anything.
You don't know what was on the agreement. He's probably perfectly in-line with the terms. It was hardly a review anyway - it was a stating the obvious. Price, manual only, firmer ride, no Honda Sensing.

I presume the press embargoes are agreements made when getting a preview drive.

It might be telling that they say in the consumer reports article "Does a turbo make the latest Si a mild, medium, or hot dish? We just bought Honda’s revamped 2017 Civic Si to find out."

IF they bought it, like any Joe Schmoe, as opposed to got a loaner for a day or got to drive one around the Mojave for a while, then would they have agreed to any press agreement?

Note an actual review, because of the June 6th embargo, but still a more complete than the the video from consumer report.

"Sport Injection", eh? And the other guy just repeats it? :rolleyes:

Interesting video, otherwise... Not a bad job to have.

Also can't believe these idiots turned it off while on the highway... What are they, 15? o_O I think they actually got nervous there, like they broke something. That was amusing. :D
