That's not happening. 10spd Auto Only. It's $1500 more on CR-V and $2K on Pilot and Passport, $2240 for Ridgeline. It's mostly 1K to 2K for other companies too. Altima, for example, offers it for about $1350. lol Rookies and Amateur drivers. There are many pro drivers who race AWD. There...

Impreza doesn't cost that much. Lancer didn't either. Same with Golf Alltrack. Having AWD won't affect price range that much. It's just that the customers will have to pay $ 2k more for the option.

Here's my take on the Accord theory. First of all, this is NOT the type-R version of 2020 Accord. I'm 100% sure about that. It is a 5 door hatchback. Body lines, while similar, are not identical. "Similar" isn't enough. It has to be IDENTICAL to be the same car. NONE of the interior pieces are...

It's never a good idea to use a photo for measuring things because of the distortion that happens inevitably.

OK here's why the grill "looks like" BMW. It's a single opening with a tape/wrap over the badge, not two separate openings. Obviously not 100% same since this is current gen, but you get the idea.

Correct. They have i30N and i30 Fastback N instead. Germany gets all kinds of test vehicles from around the world and not all of them end up in European market. Probably because everyone wants a piece of that Nurburgring.

Ok Can I get the same pair of glasses you guys are wearing? Lol But seriously, you need to look at more spyshots. They end up looking completely different from people's expectations. There are reasons why companies cover them up.

They probably need a few testers in germany for some ring time.

You can cover all of them with proper camo. Some European companies even make them look like other brands' cars on purpose. In earlier stages, it's common to use parts from other cars. The very first spy shot of the current gen Type-R was ILX hatchback with huge wheels. I do see some...

This is a new car. It's not a refresh. That's why it does not look like current gen Type-R, or current gen Accord. Just like how 10th gen civic doesn't look anything like the 9th gen. Also, let's remember that these test mules rarely use production parts at this stage of the development. So...

Or you could have gone with the Type-R and simply removed the wing :)

I'm in for VA one

It's different tho. Civic Hatchback has a small top mounted spoiler. Type-R does not have that. Instead, it has Vortex Generators. So it will be less stable than a regular hatch with the huge wing removed. I was able to notice the difference, but it wasn't enough to bother me. It will still be...

What I was trying to say was that the VG and the wing are one package. It's not the best idea to remove one element from that perfect package. So if you remove a wing, then the VG should be replaced too. And you shouldn't be adding any extra stuff to that package either. Everything you said is...

I am a designer. I know nothing about engineering. But I do know that Money always comes first, and after that they can think about design or engineering. That's why they had to deal with whatever's left from the regular hatch. Not the most optimal shape for a performance car. I think the...

I just read what I wrote again and I thought I needed to clarify some things. That was few months ago. It's not wingless anymore. I didn't remove the wing because of the looks. There was a family event and I had to make my family members think that I drive a "normal" car. (You'll only understand...

Yeah the huge wing is functional for sure, but +60mm offset wheels and the rubber band tires are also functional. I've kept my car wingless for a few weeks. The lack of down force didn't really bother me. I didn't hate the look either, but IMO it looked "naked." I think a little ducktail...

Yes, the thread patterns are different. It works with 12X1.25 od 10x1.5id thread reducer. https://www.google.com/search?q=12X...VQiOAKHUu2C_EQ_AUoAXoECAsQAw&biw=1536&bih=754 I got mine from amazon but it looks like the listing's gone now. Anything with the same spec should work tho. I might go...

So now everyone can have 3 different spoilers on the hatch at the same time for the ultimate ricer look lol One on the top, this new one, and the CTR one. I think it actually looks good tho. I just don't understand why people hate/love the CTR wing so much. You know, it's just a removable part...

There's an adapter. (Thread reducer) 12X1.25 od 10x1.5id https://www.sickspeed.com/products/brass-thread-reducer-adapter-insert-12x1-25-od-10x1-5-id-for-shift-knob-knobs?_pos=5&_sid=88e55f791&_ss=r...
