Here are a few key takeaways from the New Civic Type R:

• Factory Red Honda Badging
• LED Headlights
• 2.0L Turbo Engine w/Manual Transmission
• 20" Wheels
• Center Exhaust
• Smart Key Entry
• Parking Sensors/Proximity Sensors
• Leather Wrapped Flat Bottom Steering Wheel
• 4 seats total (2 in the front & 2 in the back)
• No Lane Watch Camera

I can't tell through this video, but I'm very curious to see if they added a Volume knob! lol. Share your thoughts. Enjoy Guys!

2.0 turbo? didnt know they confirmed that.

@mokylim This is just info based off of this video. He mentioned that the 2.0L engine is confirmed.

Who's this guy. I shut it off when he says, you have the red emblem so you know it's a Type R." Seriously. LOL

Youtube guy/internet sales guy for some Honda dealer in the US.

He does pretty decent overall car reviews of various Hondas, with obvious bias.

I know it means nothing, but man those rear brakes look tiny in 20" wheels.

Some things are obviously going to change for North American laws, mainly the sidemarkers.
We'll most likely get Lanewatch and HS either standard or as a trim package. This is a 'prototype'...and considering none of the hatchbacks on sale have HS, they probably didn't get a chance to fit it on this prototype either.

He makes really great review videos and works at a Honda Dealership here in California. Check out his channel on YouTube for all the latest Honda Info.

Meh, that's just the concept car that was already shown in Paris earlier this year. Not much new information about the production version.

Nahh man, Honda will handicap it by putting the uprated 1.5T in or maybe overcompensate with a J35 V6. Because clearly a 2.0T wasn't industry standard in this class of car.

 

[seanphenomenon]

@TimberWolf yeah, same prototype from Paris earlier this year, but the SEMA show was it's first time on U.S soil. So It's the first time many of us here got to see it in person.

I need the vortex diffuser for my HB.

Here's a better walkaround of the R, except for the music.
