After doing some parts diagram digging, it appears the base hatch uses cable shifters instead of a rod. See diagram below, part #5.

Rod shifters have superior feel compared to cables. It feels less rubber and more direct. Will this be a deal breaker? Probably not. However, one of the things that made the old Integra Type R so great was the shifter feel. My MY15 WRX uses cables for shifting, and it completely lacks any feedback.
Since the Type R will gets a unique transmission and engine, hopefully it'll use a rod shifter rather than a cable. Going to see if I can find the parts diagram for the UK FK2 Type R.
