Chus is not hpjs car. Chus window frame is not wrapped as attached. So could be the next color!

You can see this car was a CW (look and the gap between the fender and hood), passenger window frame and the fact that the roof is black is a clear indicator this isn’t a factory car.

Doesn’t seem like massive improvements compared to the current Type Rs. The front grill refresh will be good but other than that, nothing that should give us buyer remorse!

The next version, albeit a new or refreshed version, will always be better. Drive and enjoy your car.

Not going to lie. That blue is pretty hot and works well with all the black accents on these cars.
This blue is not for everyone but I agree with you that this blue works well against the black. I have an old Challenger in “Super Blue” that’s similar but the blue and black work well together imo.

Too lazy to repost. Credit goes to chutyper.
I know the owner of this car that you posted, we live in the same area, his is a wrapped blue, it is definitely 100% not boosted blue pearl.. It is Avery wrapped in Riviera Blue. I even know who wrap that car.

That car picture was taken in Ontario. Canada did not get a car of that color and does not have a car of that color. That is a tagged owned car so it is obviously not a 2020 car. How does this in anyway prove a new color is coming to the US with that picture?? It is a repaint or wrap is all it is. No news on the 2020 so people are just trying to create news. I mean since when does seeing a car a different color mean it is factory?

As for Honda pro jasons news. It is based off a dealer vehicle locator screen. But I remember dealer order screens back in 17 that showed interior options as well that we never got. so I would take it with a grain of salt. But if true no yellow...

I actually think there is bigger news in that pick then the color... look at the model number. The 11th digit of a vin represents the assembly plant. 17,18,19 it was a U. In this example it is a W so have they started producing elsewhere or planning too?

you are right. That car is wrapped in avery riviera blue, look really nice. I know the owner, we live in the same city and we both wrapped our car.

Jesus a 124 hp 3 cylinder engine for starting at 33k??? man and we thought cars here were high priced.
Dunno how they calculated those numbers...but let me set things straight here:

1. It starts here (Belgium, also a EU market as the UK) at 22k euro's. Thats around 24K USD. So thats almost 10K difference from the numbers I read in that article.

2. Downsizing! The 1.0 is the equivalent of the older 1.8NA engines, it has even higher torque output.
1.0 might sound tiny, but a 1.5 engine isnt big as well. Its in that perspective you must see these new turbo downsized engines.

3. The 1.0 engines spec numbers might seem dull on paper, in reality, the car has descent useful pep in real world traffic.
Many reviewers have already been surprised by the little engine in real world driving situations.

4. Europe is strict in terms of high capacity, high fuel consuming, high power, high everything engines.
The lower the specs etc, the cheaper the taxes to drive a car over here.
Again, its in this context these engines are popular in Europe.
And seeing the specs, 126hp actually very descent for such a small capacity 3 cil. engine.
It can even be chiptuned to150ish hp...

All that said, for only 1 cil extra and 500cc more, the total package of the 1.5 engine is still very interesting for fiscal heavy Europe and I personally would still buy the 1.5 over the 1.0.

5.
But as impressive the 1.5 is, so is the 1.0 engine.
But if you live in a country like the US, it makes no sence to even offer such a small capacity engine with 126hp....

To call this a "sport" model when it generates that little power, is laughable.
Depends on markets.

Here in Belgium, the Sport en Sport plus terminology in the trim levels are only used for the 1.5L engines.

Is this blue like the "grabber blue" from Ford Mustang Mach E?

I have reserved that car but not sure about the color.
Here's the Mach-E in Grabber Blue for comparison. There's a bunch of photos of the Mach-E on this site for you to look at.
