If the Type-S is the CTR drivetrain, even if its just FWD and not AWD, with a manual, I'd gladly grab one up.

I can see drive mode selector, the cursed stop/start function button... the center console also appears to have some kind of buttress that goes from the tunnel to the dash. I also see two-tone black/ivory seating. I love the new civic interior, but I hope it doesn't look too much like a copy/paste job.

The last Civic Si has buttons on both sides of the shifter so that's a sign at least some of its changed. The 2022 has cupholders in the center too. I don't see those in this so they are at least shifted back behind the shifter.

At least Acura listened.

I think I see the cupholders in the full image

It’s pushed back like the Hatchback one. It’s not bad because I mean do you really want to hit a bottle when your shifting gears.

Agreed. Pushed back is a good thing

I wonder if the auto version will have a push button shifter like other acura products or if they'll opt for the slightly more cost efficient lever style.

In fact it looks just like this.

Nice, I forgot about that those pics to compare to.

Funny the Integra looks to have a better center Oh Shit Handle for the passenger than the CTR does.

 

[RobbJK]

The center tunnel/console seems a bit less wide than in the civic (possibly to accommodate wider/nicer seats?)

Told you.
In the previous clip released by Acura, the engine sound was from a transmission paired to a (Manual/DCT).
My ears still working fine.


Let's see what is the final engine power output.
Will Acura the 2.0T from the TLX?
Will they have the balls to use the 2.0T from the CTR?
I really hope they don't settle for a 1.5T.

Any 2.0 will likely be in the Type-S, the question is will the type-S get a manual or will they do like most makers and the manual is base only. I expect the 1.5T to be the base engine and shared with the new Si. 200-220HP. 230 if lucky. The majority of buyers will be wanting a nice peppy ride with great MPG, and the 1.5 delivers that. MAYBE they could use the Accord 2.0T but I don't see them doing that as historically the base Integra/ILX has been closer to a Civic Si.
