I think it's time for Honda to develop an AWD drivetrain for the Civic Type-R now.

 

There's a thread already going about this...

Damn that's impressive

 

ugh... I'm really tired of everyone throwing 19's on all their cars...

 

Eh its better than when it first happened now at least you can find 19 inch tires more commonly. When I had 07 eclipse gt with 09 enkeis I could only find these damn $220 goodyear tires in stock most places.

 

and black. i was at a stop light the other day. EVERY car but mine had black wheels. even the minivan LOL

 

To bad i doubt this car will be in the U.S. ne time soon..

 

depends on who you ask

i'll believe it when i see it, though.

 

Well it certainly is coming to N.America shores 100% confirmed.
Timeline is unclear, I'd imagine wait for the 2016 Civic and expect some delay beyond that for SI and Type R models to hit show room floors.

 

I agree. I fwd doesn't make any sense to me.

 

That dude did not lift at all at 270KPH entering those S turns at the end of the last long straight!

 

it's lighter, simpler, cheaper, and pretty much works. maybe add in a little tradition.
"if it ain't broke..."?

 

if iam right they fwd is not that simple anymore and cheap. i didnt looked at it yet, but as i heard it is not something you have usually in fwd cars.
some way they redirect the tq steering feel with a front suspension set up too. and they say it is noticeably better then other fwd set ups with high hp. look it up.

 

For road racing on dry tarmac yes.

For street cars in a 4 season climate, AWD has obvious advantages.
