The Type R will be fine, just not any improvement on the 10th Gen. and the price.
Let me know when an EV can go 400 miles without stopping and is as light as a Miata. Until then, I'll stick to toss-able vehicles that let me row my own gears while not feeling like a boat on wheels.
Yeah I did noticed. It's a similar setup to the current Accord's. Right half is all analog speedometer while left half is digital. Not liking it.
I actually think the exhaust looks cool, and seems like it will have better sound and flow. Reminds me of LHT’s twin loop exhaust they fabricate for their S2000 builds.In case anyone wondering where the 5hp went. I think I see it
Honda always does their even numbers justice. But how did the civic
It looks like honda decided to shrink the mufflers unlike our 10th gens having some pickup truck sized double mufflers
It will happen sooner than you think. Companies are already working on getting charging times down to 10 minutes. There will of course always be adjustments to new technology, like when I thought my Blackberry was the greatest phone for enterprise and finally had to relent and move on. As far as "rowing your own gears", that horse has been dead a long time. Maybe 2 percent of buyers opt for that option. That will be gone long before ice is.
Yes, and soon people will claim the "superior" driving experience will be simply not driving at all as we are all shuttled around by AI in our electric crossovers
Not 100% but the environmental impact of building evs is just as bad if not worse than ice cars. Then you have the problem of batteries when they are used up. I’d rather have a “slow” car that I can drive fast than a fast ev car that I drive slow. The straight line pulls in an ev get tired really quick.
I'm glad you are one of those keeping the manual experience alive, but the reality is that since 2018, less than 4 percent of buyers opted for a manual, and that number is going down rapidly. I know a lot of M3/M5 owners, and most opted for the automatic. In my area you would be hard pressed to find a manual version of any car, pick your dealership. I made friends with the Hyundai sales guy who I leased my wife's Ioniq from, and I've been wanting to test drive a Veloster N with the 6 speed (just to try it out), and the very few Velosters that come through, he told me he hasn't seen a 6 speed yet, only DCT.Yes, and soon people will claim the "superior" driving experience will be simply not driving at all as we are all shuttled around by AI in our electric crossovers
M3/M4 are still manuals, Porsche continues to report high manual sales, Honda is still selling the Si as only a manual, Acura is going from an entry-level compact (ILX) with no manual option to one (Integra) with a manual option. People like me and others on this forum are keeping the manual alive and companies still see fit to offer it for the foreseeable future. While small in number, I disagree that we are "dead". If speed in a straight line is all you care about, sure get an EV, but there is so much more to enjoyable driving than just instant torque.
I'm not looking at EV's from an environmental view, if I did look at cars that way then we shouldn't have cars in the first place. I look at them from a practical standpoint, they are cheaper to run, use their energy more efficiently, and you can make tons of power from them without giving up much. I don't drive a car for it's straight line pulls or I would just by a Demon, Mustang or Camaro. My wife's 2020 Hyundai Ioniq only has 138 HP, yet I love driving it because it's so smooth, and at 80 mph it drives better than cars most 4 cylinder cars with 180 to 200 hp
But do they use energy more efficiently? I mean the electricity grids are powered by natural gas plants, coal, nuclear. I know I’m being pedantic but I’m in the camp evs aren’t as fun, besides I’ve gapped plenty of charger, Camaro, mustangs in my 4 cylinder ? and it’s always fun seeing their faces #hondapowerbitches ???
EV is definitely where the industry and world governments are pushing things, however, they are not without their issues.
