If there's one good thing that dipshit Elon Musk might accomplish, it's going to be creating a wedge that other manufacturers can use to kill the dealership model.

They're edited to appeal to what the foley artist thinks the audience expects to hear. A punch has a meaty sound, every time a gun is pointed there's some kind of noise, etc. It was probably entirely 'big rumble v8 = cool sexy muscle car' but 'truck???? = boring diesel' and not meant to communicate anything about the character. How would his truck sounding like a diesel say he's a moron?

I'd have thought the convex points on the grill bars would be a no-go. The spy pics show a flat grill surface and a more jutting fascia below.

New Civic Si embargo has been lifted. All accounts have the car being a return to form for the line. The only drawbacks seem to be the listed power figures, and there's no hatch. The former might be easily solved as Honda underrates the normal 1.5, and ECU tunes with the normal 1.5 already make more power than the Si. The latter is for the best as the hatch is one of the ugliest cars on sale today.

Do you think they'll suffer from the perception that they're completely unable to make an engine that doesn't eat itself, based on every race they've contested in the past few years?

Kind of. Although Honda won the Indy 500, a lot of motors ate poo poo along the way. I hear they aren't doing so well in F1 either.

What are the closest competitors for the Si now? The 5-door GTI is like $5-6k more expensive (in Canada). The Focus ST is about the same price but is more powerful and only available as a hatch. What else plays in the Si space?

The 10th Gen Civic Type R that's being built in the UK is for every market, including Japan. Subaru tweeted an image that seems to allude to a BRZ STi. I don't know if a power bump will sway the people who were decrying the car for having no power since you can get a V8 Mustang for $33K MSRP.

If they are making all of them in Swindon then that is a first.

Entirely possible that they tailor each Type R for their destination market, but we'll have to wait and see until cars are out there to tell for sure. Window stickers on Type Rs heading to the docks are saying $33900 for the MSRP.
