2018 civic type r

Has Honda said anything about what platform the next gen Civic will be built on? I've heard rumblings that it could be a modular platform that'll underpin the Accord also, but has there been any confirmation?

Honda has announced that its UK production plant will be the global production center for the next Civic five-door hatchback. The company has pledged £200 million ($295 million) of investment for this UK plant. Following that announcement, Honda of North America has now announced that the...

So in my mind the word concept means idea. And the concept that was revealed for the 2016 civic si coupe looked absolutly amazing and I want it it. But because its a concept. Does this mean it won't have the exact same look when it comes to production?

Updated September 29 with the first video of these prototypes. Updated September 4 with new photos of a caravan of similar prototypes, with current Type R in tow being benchmarked again. Here's some more photos that we caught of what could be a mule for the next Type R Civic which can be...

The next car I get will be my daily driver for commuting so it can't be a manual unfortunately. I was reading in the press release that the auto transmission will be CVT. Never owned or even drove a car with CVT so what's it like? Seems like CVT in general has a bad reputation, at least in...

Renders of the dashboard: Looks a million times better than the 2 tier design. Nice, subtle, restrained styling, not trying too hard too shock anyone or set any dead end trends. Kudos Honda!

What engine lineup will the different models get?

Spy photos of the production prototypes of the 2016 Civic coupe and sedan models. Key elements of the radical tail-light design found on the concept can be seen on the Civic sedan prototypes. The angular outer tail-lights jut out nearly identically on the concept and the sedan prototypes...

Saw new Accord's pricing announced today. EX model increased $450 (1.7%) and Touring model went up by $950 (2.8%). Using that as a guide, if the Civic followed similar price increase that would mean: Current Civic EX starts at $20,390, so a 1.7% increase would make it $20,736. Current Civic...
