Not sure what you're looking at but it looks word for word the same as the 2025 owners manual. I definitely see plenty of LogR references in the 2026 Hatchback manual as well as "Civic Type R" referenced in the specification section.
I would love to have this functionality, not really sure why it doesnt seem to exist. If the car is off theres very little reason not to have the hand brake on.
While I tend to agree with you, I do think its still very strange no announcement has been made regarding the MSRP. I can't think of any logical reason to leave it unsaid for so long, the other Civics following the same process (MY and MSRP change only) have been on the ground for months and...
The funniest part is somewhere theres a group of highly paid execs sitting around trying to actually figure out what they want to do, I'm of the thought that they don't even know yet what the plan is for 2026.
I dont disagree but thats across their entire model line, not unique to Type R. FL5 is basically the one thing still built in Japan and thus is hit above and beyond everything else.
The tariffs aren't actually as bad as it sounds. 50% of the car is using US parts. So $45k invoice, x50%x15% is under $4k in tariffs. Its not nothing but its not $10-15k either like some thought.
Bit the bullet and added the JDM mirror caps, I was completely 50/50 on if I wanted to install. I actually LOVE them, apparently no one else likes them but I'm a big fan.
