Introducing the 2018 Civic Type R Prototype - Finally!

[sgtmorph]

I read it as saying that SEMA will be the North American debut of the same "prototype" they're showing in Paris tomorrow. The "production" version will debut in 2017.

As for the Si - I think the most logical reading of that sentence is that we will get an Si variant of all three body styles. Wouldn't it be nice if we hear something tomorrow?

I read it the same, I think it makes more sense to assume the same prototype is just being shipped over here so we could see it a month later.

About the Si variants, I hope they do something completely crazy and drop info....I'm not holding my breath tho.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Looks nice, but no moonroof? No thanks.

As nice as that would be, the moonroof adds unnecessary weight in the worst possible spot, relative to center of gravity.

Anyone know where Honda will be live streaming the press? Someone told me to check auto blog but i can't seem to find anything there.

Anyway - this looks like a great car for kids with too much money. [/QUOTE]
Thanks for calling me a kid, that hasn't happened in ages.

I think it looks brilliant, now if it performs as good as it looks:

Still no confirmation on whether or not it'll be awd or fwd. Hopefully that'll be disclosed when they start doing some interviews.

It's already been confirmed as being the fastest lap holder in the FWD category. Therefore without a doubt it's FWD.

Even though this article is for the 9th Gen, it's been widely talked about using the same drivetrain.

I hope it comes in a CVT or a DCT.

That color is very nice! I'm still hoping for a brilliant blue, but if it only came in this grey...I wouldn't really even be mad.

We get a prototype for a 2018 model, but there's still radio silence for the Si :|

Anyway, on topic: Looks sweet, especially for a 5-door hatch! That's a really good color for it.
