Noooooooooooooooooo! I mean would it be so terrible if they just toyed with the exhaust a little? For all the money they spent on that came audio enhancer, they could've put a better sounding more resonant exhaust in.
I think it's a really cool feature actually
If you get past the idea of it.. It's actually pretty cool. I think it might be turned on in the video. Car sounds good.
I look at it this way. The person who really cares about the sound the most, gets to hear a "tailored" growl. The people who could care less about the sound (your neighbors in the morning, people caught in bumper to bumper traffic, neighborhoods late at night) just hear a "normal" quieter car.
The way I see it, it's a continuation of this (poor, imo) design trend of adding fake car elements that they hope will attract customers. The fake vents make it seem like Honda was trying to compensate for the Civic's lack of sportiness, when I personally don't think it was necessary. Same goes with the new fake engine noises. I would hate to be in the situation where a passenger says, "wow, the engine sounds pretty good", but then I have to explain it's all fake.
I was thinking the same thing. That beeping noise would get annoying really fast.
Someone (ok, me) asked him about that in the comments. He said it only came on as you got very close to redline. He didn't say if you could turn if off, but I'm guessing it could be turned off in the settings.
Man, that rear 3/4 view isHey everyone, new member here. Long time enthusiast. Been doing Bimmer for awhile but happy to be back in an Si. Couple of quick shots. Horrible park job...
So far car feels great! Really fun car. Higher final drive ratio adds a bit of response. Extra safety tech works when needed.. I don’t use much.
Overall, the 20 is a nice tight package but prior years just as nice IMO. Happy to be part of the club. Hope I can contribute to the community.
I was iffy about the photos too but after seeing some 2020s in person, the redesign, espicially with the new rims, looks great!Man, that rear 3/4 view is
Edit: whereas I was ambivalent about the colored piece in the front and rear vent, turns out your pictures looks a lot better than the press release ones. Also, the wheels actually look really good!
I think the new fake vents on the rear make the sedan look much better. That was the one thing I didn't like about the 17-19
If Honda was the first any only ones to do this I would agree. But "fake" "piped-in" sound through the stereo system has been done for several years now by many nice, sporty, and respected manufactures. Like BMW (M series), Audi, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Cadillac, Porsche Taycan, Acura, Ford Trucks, Toyota Avalon, Hyundai Veloster, Nissan 370Z, the C8 Corvette, and everybody's favorite VW here, the GTI.
