I don't think liquid interiors meet safety regs.

Yeah I was saying that it's not spartan enough. Saying the newer ones are soft. Sorry for misunderstanding.

Probably a little stiff and bouncy. Noisier, feelier. When that's all done well it works out to be my ideal DD. The car I drive all the time might as well be the fun one - make time spent commuting, running errands something to look forward to.

You always hear "I love driving stick but eh, I do too much city driving/commuting so I'd rather have auto." I don't doubt someone when they say that but I've found it exact opposite. Even in bumper to bumper traffic, seems like fiddling with a stick helps pass the time and miles (or feet really, in that circumstance.) The more enjoyable the shift the better.. I hear there's nothing better than CTR. I've only shifted one around at an auto show. Felt good, I expect like most vehicles (Hondas especially it seems) it will feel a lot different while driving.

I mean, the Type R models had sound deadening removed, AC removed, window thinner glass, and in some cases no power steering. They were intentionally spartan. The R stood for racing and many of the models were ready to go out of the box (*other than brakes, haha)

At this point doesn't the 2023 deserve it's own thread?

I don’t think there was an official press release yet.

Oh ya. I suppose that would be a good jumping off point.

Better cover up that Honda badge, otherwise people might know what it is!

Rendered on Regas. I dig it.

Not a fan of the back, and I do think Honda may have slightly over corrected on the design coming from the FK8. But I think it's less offensive overall and I wouldn't be as embarassed if I were driving around in one in my 40s or 50s lol

I do like the front though. And the interior.
