2026 FL5 Speculation Thread

[maranelloboy05]

It's November and MY25 is still incoming to USA. I got curious and downloaded the 26 civic hatchback owner manual and guess what compared to the 25? Almost all "type R" references are gone in 26.

For example, Honda LogR is in the index of 25 manual, but not in 26. So are Beverage holder in 25 showed type R rear middle seat, and picture of type R rear spoiler in 25 about tires tool location but not in 26. That maybe quite a hint unless I am looking at a wrong 26 manual or they made another manual for 26 type R. But I'll wait for Honda final announcement anyway instead of this speculation.

Even if assuming there's no 26, for MY25 pushed to 8000 production already and maybe still more shipment till EOY, it's like 2 years of typical type R production combined into one so there's already the 26 but just squeeze into MY25. At this point, I'm more eager to see how special the limited edition will be rather.

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.

That's different from the version I googled, for there is no more manual for hatchback excluding type R. I thought I found something interesting worth to share. Maybe I need to wait 2 more years for the limited edition hahah

I don't get it, wouldn't we just know by now? Every other civic 2026 has been announced. We are almost to the end of the year. Why would it drag out?

 

[Cueyo]

Maybe they're gonna announce the LE at sema

Where you inspecting this?

I'm thinking the Honda website since there's a Future Cars section.

Where you inspecting this?

It was on the build page for civic type r. https://automobiles.honda.com/tools...vlp=1&modelseries=civic-type-r&modelyear=2025

HOWEVER I may have jumped the gun, theres other references in the HTML for the 2021 limited edition for some reason.

 

[maranelloboy05]

Could be old code from the FK8 LE. That’s page slug is what they used in 2020 according to internet archive.

Man are we sourcing code now? This is getting out of hand.

Hey Honda corporate!!! Can you just give us an announcement already?!!!

I looked at the HTML source, not there.
