no

It's disappointingly close to the hatch 'sport' rather than being a middle ground between that and the actual God machine Type R.

Would consider buying as DD if it wasn't ugly as your mom's butt.

>>16965845
But will there be a hatch?

>>16965651
>all those kiddies bitching about power
They do realise its a turbo right? A couple hundred dollars for a Hondata flash and you'll be making boatloads of more power

>>16965845
Sucks that wages haven't kept up with inflation. Maybe I could be your wage tonight.

>>16965917
Still fwd. You'll still get BTFO from a dig even if you had 250 hp. Look at the type r 0-60 for instance. It's a second and half slower to 60 than an awd with that much power

>>16965657
whats better RWD or AWD?

I guess you've never owned a fast fwd car anon.

Wheel hop, understeer, and torque steer are very real things.

>>16966016
The Type R has dialed all of those things down, even if they didn't it'll still be faster than your bus

>>16965972
It's not about going in a straight line, it's about being able to turn

Type R is faster than the Focus RS and the Mustang GT.

>>16966027
What if I told you this thread wasnt about the $35,000 type R?

Wtf is this crap? Is this car fast? Am I reading this wrong?

>>16966035
What if I told you the Si has suspension bits from the Type R?

>>16966042
Bits is one thing.

"it's encouraging to hear word of fatter 235/40 R18 tires (summer tires are optional), stiffer springs and bigger anti-roll bars (30 percent up front, 60 percent out back), unique solid bushings and front upper control arms swiped from the Civic Type R. "

The Civic Si will not have "A front-strut suspension—Honda calls it Dual Axis—reduces the torque steer normally associated with high-powered front-drive vehicles"

The struts and many other important pieces will not be standard on the Site.

Sorry anon.

>>16966041
It's a sports trim economy car. It's faster and more fun than most other commuter boxes. The Si has usually been a fun car.

I'm not sure I can get into the lower redline though. Harder to pretend you're a speedy speed boy with that generic exhaust note in the video.

Except the GTI, WRX, Camaro 4 cylinder, ecoboost mustang and Focus St.

>>16966075
Oh right, that means it's going to be an understeering pig like an Audi, right?

>>16966118
You've driven all of them?

>>16966118
Historically you could get an Si for less money than any of those in most cases.

Until we know the actual final price it may or may not be worthwhile.

>>16966126
Honda said "Mid $20k"

>>16965982
apple and oranges.
FWD is sour grapes

>>16965982
LWD

>>16966124
Nope, haven't driven the si because it's not out yet. But all the cars I mentioned at faster and in the same price range.

Hey, if you want to spend 25k on a 1.5L Civic be my guest.

>>16966142
How do you know they're faster if you've never driven the Si?

>>16965845
they fucked up. the focus st is way better for the price

then again people will proudly pay whatever price honda asks for whatever garbage they shit out

>>16965895
Hey, at least it's better looking than the Type R abomination (which reminds me of your mom's butt, mind you)

>>16965651
It's still too big to be a civic
