I won't mind not having a Civic wearing a Type R badge and instead possibly having a really potent Si model with these Type R components.


Honda never once sold a vehicle with a "Type R" badge, aside from the JDM Honda Integra Type R sold as an Acura in North American, so it's quite possible they will follow that trend, hopefully not.

I would be totally fine with a 280 horsepower Si.

That along with some nice torque

Different chassis is what it seems, one thing we have to keep in mind is that Type R wasn't built with the intention of going to North America. At least it will make things interesting on both ends, potent Civic's for both

I realize that they never were intending to bring the Civic Type R to North America, but that doesn't make me any happier about it. I just don't really understand why they made that decision. It's such a cool car and North America is a huge car market. Why wouldn't you want to sell it here?

No idea why they left out north america, bad call on their part in my opinion but no need to worry about that now as we're on track to getting one. The rest of their brand was like that too, not much performance-focused products, finally the fun times are slowly returning.

and when it comes time that the internet gets what it want, in many cases a small part of it buys in
