2023 civic type R. Thoughts?

Definitely less boy racer looking. I like the look.

I actually like it. Like BMW it has widened front fenders AND rear quarters. Apparently only the roof front doors and hatch are the same as the regular civic.

The wing could be better but the rest is really nice. And only 6spd manual.

Edit: 265/19 square set up! Dam Honda.

I assume the tiny rear breaks are due to the E-break.

Actually like it a lot. Even in white. It’s too bad you’ll never find one at sticker.

Probably the same for the GR Corolla.

I think the evolved styling is a big improvement. And I’d love to drive one.

It's a thousand percent better than the last one. I'd not be embarrassed to be seen in this one.

That said, I am not loving the "forehead" that new Hondas have nowadays.

Also, Damn, Civics come with ultra-low profile 19" wheels nowadays?

How fast do those get stolen?

The prior or current gen R has 20’s. They actually downsized one to 19’s. I was more impressed by the 265 square set up. Those are huge for a Civic.

Looks great, not sure I would buy one because the seat doesn't look exactly comfortable. Yes. I am at that age now.
