There's only one trim level which is Touring so Sensing should be a given.

That weight doesn't seem accurate. The UK CTR is 3070lbs. Not sure how it could lose 280lbs.

Yeah. Now I'm reading 35 lbs less than FK2 type R so that would be 3035 lbs. annoying conflicting info. And it is directly from Honda. I think the base Hatchback is just heavier than Google is quoting!!

 

[erbee]

Yeah. From HPJ, but sounds unbelievable to me too.

HPJ is lame. He's the one said Si will have a detune 2.0 And he said this CTR is limited. Screw this guy.

OMG!!!!

Hmmm...I just might trade up! And that WOP exterior is beautiful.

Not too bad, weight-wise, regardless of whether it's 2,800 or 3,000 lbs. Disappointed that power wasn't closer to 350 hp. Honda used to be the king of high specific output, at least back in the N/A days. Mercedes is crushing them with the same displacement powerplant in their A45.

Quick things I see. New Intake manifold, real carbon, sensing triangle in windshield, timewatch / shift lights in cluster look sweet, nameplate #

OMG!!!!

From that video, I think it sounds better than the FK2.

This is what it will be. 2800lbs is a dream.

OMG!!!!

That exhaust note from the factory? Oh boy...

 

[Dretlaw]

Look at all those red in the interior!!! What Si? NO

I still don't think it'll come with real carbon fiber despite upclose images show that it may. If it were real carbon, why wouldn't Honda advertise that in their press release? I think it's using faux carbon fiber.

If it sounds like this.. almost like a Volvo T5!
