2015 Civic Type-R

[tahdizzle]

Its on Honda's website yes, but Jalopnik is taking it VERY liberal.

In big bold letters they say "We'll be getting the Civic Type R!"

No we will not. If you read the car n driver article that I put up, We will be getting future type Rs. Ones that will meet US regulations, in a few YEARS. So yes.... we will be getting the Type R.

The all-new Civic Concept is ready for its close-up, and debuted at the 2015 New York Auto Show on April 1. As the basis for the entire line of 2016 Civics, the Civic Concept boasts a variety of sporty, aggressive features that will redefine the compact market. This fall, the Sedan—later followed by a Coupe, an Si, a 5-door model, and a new Civic Type-R—will celebrate our take on an advanced, sport-inspired design. Featuring a new turbo-charged engine, the Civic Concept embodies the spirited, game-changing future of the 10th-generation Civic.

and car companies don't usually do April fools

so this could very well be real.

If you watch the Honda announcement today at the NYAS, they pretty much confirmed it. Only time will tell I guess

it seems honda is stepping up, and i couldn't be happier.

I like to have a lot of options.

Very very true. Depending on what the Type R ends up being, I might even trade up from my frs

Doubt it'll go into Acura territory in terms of price, which makes it okay to me

I'm thinking somewhere between WRX nad WRX sti pricing

As nice as the new type r sounds, I really love RWD...

Don't even think about trading in your 86 just yet.

Bring back the wishbones or go away Honda.

Don't tell me you're taking the Civic back towards where it started unless you're getting rid of the Macfail suspension.

bring back the wishbones and RWD*

As well as Honda dominated Formula 1 with their turbo engines, when I think Honda, I think high revving natural aspirated V-TEC.

That's still the way they captivate me.

Macfail?

The MacPherson strut system deserves way more credit than that...

Not on FWD it doesn't. Of course it can be made to work and work well but in an apples to apples comparison, having a dynamic camber curve provides numerous benefits over the macs.

The key to FWD is making the front tires work and making them last and macs, when compared to double wishbones, create an initial handicap in both those categories that are more difficult to overcome in chassis setup and when it's all about maximizing potential of every part, the doubles do a better job with the contact patch than macs in almost every category, especially those that count.

On RWD, due to the nature of the car setup, the performance delta between macs and doubles is much less so it matters little. So macs are not always fails... they're just fails for this FWD race car driver.
