Why in the heck would you have camouflage on a car that you are trying to show off?
makes 0 sense

Yes, it's annoying. I think they should just show it already. But they are generating buzz and anticipation. The camo hides the best part about the car, which imo is the wide rear fenders and meaty tires underneath. the best picture of this is at the gas station. I'm looking forward to seeing the type r in person without camo someday.

2023 Honda Civic Type R Sets New FWD Lap Record At Suzuka Beating Current FK8 By Nearly 1 Sec

Not much of an improvement for a new generation. Probably no more power.

Can it even improve all that much more though for it's price and FWD? The new time is within a second of a a 997 GT3 RS. That's insanity to me

2023 Civic Type R : 2.23.12
Previous gen Type R is about 10sec slower

FD2 is based on the 8th gen Civic. I believe the new CTR is around a second faster than the FK8.

Still... awesome to see how far they've come over previous models.

Whut..... you think they should reveal it like Nissan does?

Maybe they can show it in yellow for a year and talk in abstracts about the passion of it's designers?

Yeah Nissan and Honda in a never ending struggle for the right to drop last. Lol

I dunno man.
I feel like Honda is going about it correctly. Sure, you know a CTR is forthcoming, you've seen test mules..... But Honda isn't teasing. You watch, when they officially reveal it, it'll be on sale in less than 3 months. It's how they handled the Gen 11 Civic, TSX Type S, probably the Integra.

I believe we were shown the Z last August? Honda doesn't jerk the new releases around like Nissan does. Not to mention all of the Airya pre-orders who are in for a world of disappointment.

Yes very true. I'm just being impatient. I'm hearing sometime in the Summer...specifically a June unveil.

 

[Z hope]

Honda can’t even make the Civic and they’re driving this type R on the streets for the last 2 years. I wonder if any of the car manufacturers have learned anything over the past 2 years.
Its all getting very old .
