Turbos, that's what happened.

Not feeling the new hatchback so kind of nice they went sedan.

Si embargo appears to have lifted today. No big surprises in what I've seen, but overall it seems like a nice choice.

It will be interesting to see how the Integra lands. I assume it will have more equipment? Heated seats? It will be a hatch, which is nice. Not clear how much more it will cost.

It's really hard to argue with this as a commuter car, particularly since the GTI has lost all of its interior buttons.

Not awful looking. Better than the Integra, IMO. Pretty cool that it comes with an LSD.

I watched this driving YouTube from The Topher. This guy takes more chances then I ever would on this drive with those cliffs and sometimes no guard rail.

Overall the car look super agile and fun to drive. I am hearing a little rev hang but not to bad. I wish Honda could have engineered the engine to redline at maybe 7,200 instead of 6,500. I know it’s a turbo but BMW got a 7,600 redline from the S55 soooo??

It is an attractive car with a nice interior. Reminds me of 90’s Honda.

US doesn't get heated seats. Sigh.

Yeah that’s dumb. I’m hoping the Integra fixes that issue.

It checks a lot of boxes for me. No heated seats and no electronic shocks this time are disappointing. Unless I find a good used alternative by March, it's between this and one of the pricier Hyundai N cars...
