The Civic Si has oversize brakes and these will be the same. There is no $2000 upcharge for the Civic Si brakes. Acura will be aggressive in pricing, so pretty close to the ILX (they even alluded to this in interviews). The base Integra is a Civic Si with extras and an auto option.
The Si is...
Yeah, I have that on my Civic Hatch, which I don't mind so much. You're probably right, the yellow is what magnifies the trim so much. Seeing it in other pictures, it does look better. The stage lighting is the issue.
The Aspec was already projected to be $33.5K based on the marketing study. I would bet money there are only three trims total. A base model that is $30K, ASpec that is $33.5 K and the TypeS around $40K. There will be no Tech model or Advance model. SH-AWD may be an option as well.
i felt like the whole stage was too bright. The very light yellow with the bright lights and glossy black made it hard to really make out the design of the car. Couldn’t see the sculpting or details very well.
The gloss black on the front lower bumper has to go. Way too shiny and blinding...
This is not really surprising. I just hope they offer a DCT as well. I’m only interested in the Type S, which I’m sure will be an Acura Civic Type R, just like this is the Si. Just would like the Type S to have SH-AWD.
