Honda’s next-generation Civic has only just been unveiled, but the brand is already starting to reveal its plans for upcoming performance models. For those that like to row their own gears, Honda will deliver the goods.
In an Instagram live video posted to YouTube by CivicXI.com, Honda media relations manager Carl Pulley gives an overview of the features of the upcoming vehicles, and confirms the manual-only specification of the Si.
“We will definitely have an Si, and as tradition it only comes with a manual transmission,” Pulley said. “That will be the case here. And for the super-enthusiast, yes we will have a Civic Type R coming out, and yes that will be manual transmission as well.”
This is big news, and we couldn t be happier.
As much as recent supercar launches like the Ferrari 812 Competizione have enthralled us, most consumers will be more interested in cars they can actually afford such as the Honda Civic. That s why the new 2022 Civic is such an important vehicle.
Following a leaked pricing guide last week, we now have even more information about the new Civic and enthusiasts will be particularly pleased with the latest discoveries.
