It's almost here!! So close!

I'm very suspicious of those "exhaust sounds" due to:

1) A couple of automatic/DCT-type shifts
2) Sounds that don't match acceleration
3) Lack of Doppler effect
4) Overlapping engine sounds
5) Broken continuity
6) Sounds change when nothing else does
7) Lack of microphone wind buffeting sound

Hey at least there are no extreme close-ups of the rear wheels spinning...

When the coupe is just cruising it sounds so weird... almost as if it was actually the drone, because once they accelerate the sound completely changes in tone.

Pretty much same thing for me.. They could have had a Gran Turismo game and captured the sound files from there

Perhaps the si has piped-in engine sound like the gti or FOsT?

I thought the same thing about the exhaust.

The thing that annoyed me was the "sport" light on the dash. The gauges change already, no need for that bright red light.

When the sedan accelerates at the end... I feel like that was a pretty accurate sound.

Which vacuum machine is this ?

I love that touch screen...

I love that touch screen...

I don't love the empty buttons above the "Sport" button. It makes me feel I'm missing out on something... like there's something better this car could have or that another car has. They should throw in a few pretend ones... like "Sportier" and "Sportiest".

With more Honda B-roll footage popping up on YouTube this morning on various click bait channels, it's now pretty clear that those videos are nothing more than silent footage provided by Honda that someone laid sampled or generated sounds on top of (and a poor job at it I might add).

Lol, print out some vinyl stickers! That would be pretty funny actually, or some mariokart themed ones.

Is there any information anywhere why Honda wasn't able to continue with the flat floor in the rear like the 8th and 9th gens? I thought that was pretty cool engineering and made the middle seat a bit more usable. I can only think that with a raised center tunnel that maybe it helps with overall chassis rigidity.
