Sedan in October... coupe, no idea, probably no more than a 2-3 months delay after the sedan releases (but at least we'll have specs to go off of).

Si can be assumed pretty assuredly for Spring 2016 (early summer at the latest) especially if they debut at SEMA like they have in the past.

Type R is up in the air. The Euro model has AT LEAST a year left to run it's current form, possibly longer than that. Most likely we'll start seeing more info on it this time next year.

Unless they show us the coupe at Frankfurt

Oh and while the debuts aren't IN frankfurt, they take place during the Frankfurt news cycle. The 16th is the day before Frankfurt opens to the press...

As long as they release the coupe for sale this year or spring next year then they shouldn't lose too many people from disinterest but it would be nice to see the coupe alongside the sedan or at least hear more about it at the upcoming auto shows.

IMO they're probabaly banking on the coupe and sedan attracting different demos... Not to mention couple sales typically drop off during the winter doldrums...

while we wait the two weeks, anyone want to gamble on Honda giving us a few high impact paints? (probably only the coupes and Si's)

 

[Smartie]

You're talking colors i assume. Yea, i could see the concept car green making it to the Si (not that odd given the current traffic cone orange they offer now).

I know that paint colors had leaked for the sedan (and assuming it'll be the same for the coupe except for maybe 1 color). I was happy to see they're switching from the Taffeta White to the White Orchid Pearl for the civics. I prefer the luminescence of *** compared to the flat white of TW.

I know two blue colors were mentioned. I assume a darker or true blue and then maybe a light blue kinda like the 8th gen had with Atomic Blue. Probably will offer 2 red colors, a dark red or rust color and then a true red.

I'd like to see a rust color, somewhere between orange and red with a metallic sheen. A true blue similar to what's on the accord coupe and then a lighter blue. They'll probably have the 2 gray colors which one is more blue and the other is more brown. I think a dark purple would be cool too, they offer it on the fit and HRV, why not a dark purple civic?

Mulberry Si Coupe could be MEAN I also wouldn't mind seeing a yellow...

 

[Smartie]

the pretty much aped the Mirai's design... in fact they might even be the same car now

My dealer told me 2016 CIVIC will be shipped to dealer in Canada around Oct 23rd.

Honda Canada has a plant to produce 2016 Civic sedan and coupe, and in fact it is the lead plant to produce new Civic, meaning this plant teaches other Honda civic making plants around the world to set up manufacture process.

I will do a test drive in late October.

So Canada will get the Canadian made civic almost a month after the US??

Ford is in Oakville, Honda is in Alliston.

NAFTA has nothing to do with equal pricing, NAFTA is about tariffs...

 

[Smartie]

SOME of the new civics will be built in canada. Some will still be built in ohio, some in canada. Release dates for US and Canada should be really close, a few weeks if that. Guess it depends where honda thinks the first batch of cars should go to.... where ever they're going to sell fastest i'd assume.

I'm wondering what kind of production split we're going to see. Trim X,Y or Z from Canada, Coupes all from Canada, all Si's from CAnada... hmm otherwise how do they decide which facility supplies which cars...

I still want to know what happened to the Detroit event we were promised...
