Can't say that I'm surprised since all Hondas are switching to them but:

Electronic E-Brake:rukidding:

as much as i dislike electronic e-brakes, that brake hold feature is pretty nice to have in a line up though

The online configuration page is out on the US site

2017 Civic Type R: Aggressive & Powerful New Design | Honda

My focus has hill assist etc but still has a real cable parking Hand brake

so does my mustang, but i'm told there is a way to override it because it tends to hang on too long and you can end up with a jumpy start off the line.

"Pick your color"

That's basically it.

Lolol yeah just turn it off. It's under driver settings

I wonder how much "stuff" from the CTR is a direct bolt-on to the regular cars...

WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT?!

I was looking at the Type R spec sheets and this thing is loaded. Driving nannies, entertainment and all the bells and whistles. Maybe for next yr they could put a HUD for racing lines of all the road courses and braking points that turn red. Just like in Forza and Gran Turismo.

spec sheet wars

Hoping Type-R sales stay high so that Mazda releases a new ms3 hatch and subaru release a wrx/sti hatch.

Also that rev match feature is awesome. Loved it on the F8X M3/M4, made daily driving fun and would probably allow you to focus better on your lines when at the track.

Maybe it's just me, any colour other than championship white isn't a "complete Type R" haha

I have to say the look is growing on me

Not only u.same here

CTR look has grown on me also. Champ white and polished metal would have to be my two favorite color choices.

Not surprised... how else do you think a FWD is able to compete with supposed competition of AWD?.

Got me right in the feels when I saw it had a badge # right by the shifter.

I would upgrade the exhaust and change to smaller white wheels.

NH-0 all damn day but the Polished Metal looks great!

There's a dude on H-T selling his already. Haha! Just picked it up yesterday and now trying to flip. He's getting flamed for it but in this capitalist world how can you even hate on that? Especially if someone actually buys it from him.

i know that feel. its like buying a ferrari thats not red. :alone:

At that price it's going to sell as well as the new NSX. Better off waiting for someone to crash one and then swap the engine into a EK or EG hatch cause this one is ugly.

LOL~ $25k market premium. WTF is this stealership smoking?

LOL. With all this Type R hype cant blame them for trying to milk the situation. There is always a sucker willing to pay.

True dat. considering it is also a limited production car.
