When I pay mine off, I hope to be looking for one of these after graduation. But i really wished it was AWD... I am tired of owning FWD cars.

I also really want that flipping wing!!!!

People wearing jackets and hats... but also short sleeves and pants. I'll go ahead and say I believe these are recent?

The concept pic has an extra side window in or behind the back door that makes it much more shooting brake...

I can get behind it having everything but the rear wing.
But, I would like to see the small scope as it is likely supplying cold air to the airbox

Yea, every spy pic I've seen of this car, that 3rd window out back has been camo'd away. To me it appears to make the car look visually shorter. Tho idk what they'd gain from that

Good find. I'm thinking a wing delete will end up being a no-cost option, like it is on the STI.

I prefer the look of the real one over the concept - at least where that extra window is concerned.
Also, the window tint people charge by the window, so come on window delete!! haha.

Honda Pro Jason just reported 306hp and 0-60 in 5.7 ish. Those are disappointing numbers to me:

 

[Slickone]

Some stock Accord coupe times are faster than that.
Maxima and Altima V6 is about equal to that. The 2017 Nismo Sentra might be faster.

True, but they're not going to racecar like #TypeR.

Keep in mind that the 0-60 of 5.7 is a Honda published time. Most reviewers have been hitting low 5 second 0-60.

This is about the limit of FWD right now.

I wonder how good the tires are at launching and how good it could be with slicks.
