Some closeups of 2017 Civic Hatchback in white

[lzaffuto]

The article I saw was Car and Driver:

"Honda says five trim levels will be offered, starting with the base LX and followed by the Sport, EX, EX-L, and Sport Touring."

I really think the Sport will not have the Sunroof and electronic goodies.

This has to be the EX then? It doesn't list the trim on the car, though from Honda's shots the Sport and Sport Touring editions will have the trim level displayed on the car. Like so:

Curious...

What's the likelihood the Hatch SPORT, in a manual, will come with features (below) that I desire?

1. Sunroof/Moonroof -- what's the difference?
2. Alloy Wheels
3. Touch screen display with at least a 5 inch screen
4. Bluetooth
5. Back-up camera
6. Lane Watch

Only Canada will get all of this (and much more) with the Hatch Sport. Canada is not getting the EX so most of the EX features were add to the Sport.

My guess is that yes that is either an EX or more likely an EX-L (it has leather and sunroof but no sport badging and no center exhaust).

As an American who's eyeing the Standard Sport trim level...

That sucks. However, I bet you the Sport will fit somewhere between the LX-P trim level of the Coupe, and the EX-T, like so:

This is why the Hatch Si isn't happening. This touring Sport model has basically ALL the visual appointments the Si will get. Red gauges, carbon fiber look on the dash, the same 18" wheels, the same front bumper we've seen on the Si spy shots, center mounted exhaust, etc. The sport models are as close to an Si hatch as you'll get (for the time being). Expect all these same visual appointments to be on the sedan/coupe Si models however as well.

I also feel that the fact the sport hatch models come in automatics (or manual if you get the base) even with the boosted hp and torque lends some tangibility that we might end up seeing an automatic option on the future Si models as well. (possibly not on the 2017s but in the next year or two as an addition to the lineup).

In a larger sense you are probably right. But the Si has historically been more comparable to the EX trim. Which is why with the addition of the Touring, I suspect we'll see TWO versions of the Si - a base and a GT (aka Touring). I am thinking Honda has held off on the Si Hatch to see how hatch sales in general do. If demand is unusually strong, particularly for the 6MT Sport, I expect we'll see an Si variant by 2019. Otherwise I think they'll keep it reserved for the sedan and coupe.

I'm doubtful on the automatic unless sales begin to slump on the Si, or they bump the Si to mass production. Which is entirely possible now thanks to the efficiency of turbocharging.

Also, I thought it might be helpful to rank the Civic's expected USDM trims (regardless of model):

LX
LX-T
LX-P
Sport
EX
EX-T
EX-L
Si (no leather)
Touring
Sport Touring
Si GT (?)
Type R
Type R GT (?)

I still don't like the big bumper grill things, but the white with black wheels is pretty sharp on it.

I bet those will be fun to clean...

Why don't you just read the bloody press release that came out like 3 weeks ago? Jesus...

There doesn't seem to be details on the various trim models, other than HP and Exhaust.

I strongly suspect these wheels are HFP optional-

I don't think they are. Everything I have looked at says the sport and sport touring will have 18s. Didn't someone find 19s in the parts catalog?

Coming from an OG like me-that's crazy(cool). I remember the first guy I knew to fit 18's on his integra and we were like yo wtf is this guy doing?!!! Back then the EX had 14" steel wheels while the Si got 15" alloys!
Progress is great

Dunno if anyone has seen this, but it just came in my inbox... looks like paddle shifters and a red theme for the gauges?

Yup, just got my email on this also! Whoo Hooo!
