That would never happen. CRZ would need alot of development for something like that, and it just isnt worth it. CRZ sucks lol.

I think its safe to say we will be getting a 280hp + Civic si in 2016-2017.

........wrx, brz, or this........im torn lol

Ford is also bringing the RS to NA so there are fortunately going to be lots of options to choose from. No complaints what so ever

[tehwegz]

Focus RS will probably be 45k here. Which is what I'm thinking the full deal CT-R will go for ( Euros converted to CDN ) then there is the Golf R, same deal. And the STi. Evo X headed into last year of production with increased power and little tweaks.

Unless they give us a more tame down CT-R and call it the new CivSi for ~35k CDN which is what I see them doing.

The Nissan IDX has grown on me. I see it coming about '16 or '17. I hear they're dropping the Z, mixing in the S, with the look of a Datsun 510, and you get a direct FRS/BRZ/GT86 fighter. But with 1.6L turbo, 200hp/200lb-ft.

Too many choices is right. I'll wait and see what gets revealed next month.

I agree!


Im looking forward to this tho.. Finally we will see what Honda can bring to the table. Also that European designed Focus RS shouldn't disappoint.

[Tilly]

This car gives me similar vibes to that of the latest generation(s) WRX/STI - the wheel arch treatment.

..not that the civic is AWD and capable of handling such extreme bodywork.

[tehwegz]

the wrx/sti always had those wheel arches. Its just the body proportions this time around make them look out of place. What started on the bug eyes...remains on increasingly bloated looking ones of today. But are by far safer, stiffer, better handling, better steering, etc. than ever before.



We aren't getting the CT-R but some sources on Google News close to Honda indicate the all new 2016 CivSi's to get the 2.0L iVTEC turbo motor in Coupe or Sedan form.

wood buy

????????

[MGCM]

so many great new cars to look forward to

I thought that the Euro spec body style didn't pass crash safety ratings for NA. odd. Not sure what this means. Maybe someone at Honda screwed up and accidentally took this out for a drive lol.

Turbo Civic(s) are coming later this year. Pretty sure there will be a 1.5T and 2.0T. To me those pics still look like sedan with a giant spoiler.

I'm going to be so tempted later this year:

Golf R
Focus RS
Civic Type R?

Whatever leases best I guess right?

[Shlade]

I don't care how much power it has it's still horrible looking

In that case CTR it is.

You know it, baller.

I really don't think the CTR is going to be competing with the Golf R and Focus RS. At least not in terms of performance.

It might be close on the track. They are trying to make the CTR the fastest FWD around the Nurburg.

But I do agree. I think the RS will still beat it not only on the Nurburg but also the AWD is a massive advantage in terms of traction in Calgarys cold wet roads for daily driving.

Yeah the current Civic is a styling mess. Adding a big spoiler will only make it look more disjointed than it already is and I simply won't buy one until they improve the interior from the minivan style they have been rolling with for almost a decade now.

More details...

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Wow 350mm rotors? Seems a little overkill unless this car is going to have a significant amount of power and weight.
