Sitting on the barbecue stall, in addition to hearing the shouts of games such as "three sixes...", four fives, etc., you can often hear young people's yearning for their first car.
Young Man A: I think Corolla is very good, worry-free and fuel-saving;
Young man B: Or new energy, strong power, charging is not expensive;
Young Man C: Seat heating is not that kind? Domestic cars are the first choice for 100,000 yuan gears;
Young Man D: The family wants to buy an SUV with money, but I prefer the Civic.
Perhaps compared with dream Car-class models such as GTR, AMG GT, BMW M, Audi RS, etc., Civic is more suitable for most pragmatic post-90s young people as the first choice of "first car". The appeal of the Civic not only stems from the strength of the product itself, but also from the aura of the once "fastest" Civic Type R, which shoulders speed and passion, appearance and control, and the Civic Type R has always been a model that JDM fans are talking about, plus there are many opinions: the eleventh generation of Civic TYPE R will be introduced into the domestic CKD (Completely Knock Down) the news is intensifying. Perhaps toyota supra and Volkswagen golf GTI will be overshadowed by the upcoming "semi-local" Civic Type R.
Guessing the "semi-localization" Civic Type R, the price threshold is still not low
It is understood that unlike the pure imported Civic Type R, which was previously priced at more than 700,000 yuan, the eleventh generation of Civic Type R will adopt the "CKD form" (Completely Knock Down full-part assembly), which will be introduced into the country by the form of components and then assembled, and the responsible for assembly and production is Dongfeng Honda, and hangs the logo of "Dongfeng Honda CIVIC Type-R".
In fact, reviewing Dongfeng Honda's attitude towards the past performance of small steel gun models, it is not difficult for us to find that Dongfeng Honda's listening to consumer voices and actual improvements are more active among many joint venture car brands. Whether it is the previously launched 10th-generation Civic hatchback manual version, or the earlier Honda Civic And subsequent Civic SI, Dongfeng Honda intends to bring consumers more interesting and more JDM culture of automotive products.
But relatively, products linked to "feelings" tend to have higher price thresholds. According to the previous media forecast, the eleventh generation Of civic Type R will be in the configuration and price, will be the benchmark in the domestic representative of the "JDM taste" Toyota Supra, but compared to the pure import form of Toyota Devil, the lowest price anchor point of the new Civic Type R may be between 400,000 and 500,000.
The new Civic Type R at the Tokyo Retrofit Show
At the previous Tokyo Modification Show on January 14, Honda unveiled a new generation of Civic TYPE R prototypes in camouflage. From the outline of the display car, we can find that the new Civic Type R is based on the new generation of Civic Hatchback, although the eleventh generation of Civic has become more "restrained" in terms of styling, but the flat front face shape and hatchback posture are still prominent in the performance of the sports atmosphere.
As a high-performance version, the new Civic Type R is more aggressive in the front face layout, using a large area of bottom opening shape, with fang-like trims that run through the bottom and extend to both sides to lower the visual height of the front, and the deflector design on both sides also indicates the identity of its high-performance car.
In terms of details, the new Civic Type R logo naturally adopts the classic red Honda LOGO design, which brings stronger recognition with the Type R logo on the middle network. The large-size tail fin fixed to the anchor point on both sides of the hatchback door also bid farewell to the previous one-piece design style this time, and adopted a three-piece design ingenuity, which was radical in visual effects. The exhaust layout of the mid-duty three-out model is obviously inherited from the previous generation, and the structure may be consistent with the FK8 generation Civic TYPE R.
In terms of power, Japan's new Civic Type R will use an upgraded 2.0T turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 320 horsepower, which will be matched by a 6-speed manual transmission. After the introduction of domestic parts and components, the Tomoto Civic Type-R may be in line with domestic traffic regulations and emission standards, and there will inevitably be restrictions and adjustments, but "citizen scientists" will always tell you that the method is always more difficult than difficult.
Auto Network Review: Civic Type R is the dream of "high-end players" and the spiritual symbol of ordinary Civic consumers
In fact, it is not difficult for us to predict that the new Civic Type R that will be introduced within the year will be the cheer of "network JDM fans", the "traffic theme" of the media, and the black spot of "the introduction of the must-buy party", but it really falls on the market sales, and its estimated starting price of 400,000 is undoubtedly the threshold that blocks many enthusiasm.
Is a car worth 400,000? Maybe it is not worth mentioning in the voice of the Internet, but how many people can buy 400,000 cars and then "dance like dance, drink wine still, and soak like girls"? It can only be said that with the arrival of the new Civic Type R, only a small number of consumers who can really buy it have a very deep emotional blessing and are not bad at the same time. For the "performance first" of ordinary eleven generation car owners, in the future, only need to change a red label, spray red calipers, plus a front lip and tail wing, in the limited economic cost can get great spiritual satisfaction.
