Dear Honda, We Want Another Type-R Coupe | DC5 + FL5 

Thanks for watching :D We just restocked a few of our embroidered key tags at roadsuntraveled.com/en-ca/collections/all including the K20C and B16B!

DC5 wouldn't look out of place in a showroom 💥💥

I’m 42 and just bought an integra type s. Loved this video and think that girl nailed it with her comments.

Dude an Integra Type S coupe would go so hard!

Its 45-50k. Its aimed at the older generation that grew up doing this when you two were in diapers who are now grown up and have families. I love the new type r and the type s and Im 42

Since Honda isn't likely going to give us another Type-R Coupe at least give us another S2000. We need something to fill the 2dr divide. Not everyone wants a 4dr Family Sedan or SUV/Truck. There are literally like only 5-6 options entirely from the past decade that even fill that criteria, and most are expensive.

Sadly the FL5 is the last Type R. Honda already confirmed that. Her Type R is so dope and clean for its age. Sounded so good in the clip of her pulling away from the camera. You can't beat the N/A honda engines. They're just too good.

I love how the fk8 and fl5 look but lean a bit towards more the style of the fk8. Similar to what they said in the video about a DC5 where people can mistake it for a base model RSX. I think the design of the fk8 clearly separates it from the base model while with the fl5, I can’t tell if it’s a fl5 or a base model on the streets without seeing type r badges.

Well said. I own a FD2R but modified and yet I have to use daily since I have a daughter I need to carry around. I’ve always been divided between the FD2 and a newer civic and with the FL5…. That car will be a classic. When I say modified, it’s been more divided but driving the car, feeling it pull me into the turns and VTEC (2.2L Brian Crower) oh man… the insane rush…. Just going to pick up my daughter from school. :P. What ever you pick, make it yours and keep it safe.

Very candid, diplomatic, calm, insightful and unbiased comments / remarks about old school "analogue" Honda JDM vs. new generations turbo-charged Honda Type R's. This truly reflects what that individual understands and appreciates Hondas and the spirits behind - and more impressively so from such a young lady who might be driving a Honda older than her. Truly inspiring! (I am sure Honda would continuing making this kind of "screaming" Hondas if they could, if not for the ever-tightening emission requirements)

Agree. We need a coupe. CR-X was a coupe. Prelude was a coupe. Every Si was a coupe. Until just a few years ago.

90s kid here grow up with hondas and always wanted a type r, any of them really. ek9 and EP3 mostly.. The way the market is on cars from the 90s and early 2000 is just dumb especially here in australia and most of us would want to throw at least another 10k min on top of the what you got it for to tune, add and personalise a car to the way they want it. which if your lucky your looking around 30 to 35k total. Add another 5k and your in the market to buy a 2017 FK8 which is turbo charged and ready for the track ( that as a father of 2 is a mad plus ) The FK8 to me is what a 90s kid that is into the jdm life was looking for, yeah its not the most sleeper looking one from factory but if you didnt see the triple exhaust the normal person would think its just an RS( SI in the USA ) Type R > RS.. FL5 is nice and growing on me but if i had that model i would keep it stock and be happy with it but the fk8 makes me want to mod it. :D

I agree with everything Ell said. I also agree with everything you said Marcus. It's a question of soul indeed. I own a Honda S2000 (AP1) so if I had to pick just one between the DC5 Type R and FL5 Type R, what would I choose? The answer is hopefully obvious (DC5-R)

We're lucky to even still get a hatch or sedan! everyone wants a CUV or SUV

Man working in used car dealer its insane how much s2000's went up. We just sold a rhd in the 30s and i think it had like 45k on it. Red hard top, thing was clean.

Cars, all cars, have gotten so damn big and heavy haven't they?

It makes all the sense for the civic type r to be 2dr and the Integra to be 4dr

Yes please! A Type R coupe would be awesome and fly so fast off the showrooms!

If my FL5 Type R had also been available in coupe form? Yes, the coupe would have been my first choice. But I’m not complaining- this 4-door design is handsome, and the driving dynamics are superb. Very harmonious!

Let's be real, 2 door coupes just don't sell in the US anymore and the numbers don't lie. The amount of R&D to make three different version; Coupe, Hatch, and Sedan, of the same car will be quite costly for Honda.

No. Actually the Type R hatch is perfect the way it is. As a family man I think it works to be able to also drive my kids plus own my fun car at the same time.

I'm a Subie guy and have an STI which is why I probably prefer the FK8 look to the newer version. I've been looking at buying a new daily and a Type R was considered. I'd want an NA that revs super high version the new turbo charged ones. Still, I'd love to have an FK8 as a daily. I'd probably start modifying it like I did with my Subie... so yeah, I'd love a new challenge with the Type R. I would also love DC2. RSX would be a fun car to have!

I'm a dad, and I love Hondas. Fast Hondas! So this car is perfect for me. I can drive with my wife and 2 kids comfortably.

Going by previous sales the 2 door economy car doesn’t sell nearly as much as the 4 door. The type R only makes up 1% of total civic sales.

The Civic Type R in Germany costs 90k CAD or 66k USD. The prices are insane.

Well if the prelude comes out on the same chassis as the civic maybe a type r drivetrain can get dropped into it probably be like 55k tho

I would just like my DB7 Ls to just drive good let alone a Type R🚗🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Simple solution. Get a cheap 90's Honda to tinker with, and mod to your hearts desire. Then the fl5 to be the reliable fun family car.

The new Prelude is a coupe 👍

9:21 BMW M4* not M2. [BMW's new car model system is pretty confusing nowadays...] I'll be picking up a FL5 soon! :)

Maybe the new prelude 🤞

There a Red Type R right down the street from me.. Looks almost just like that.. They are very nice looking cars for sure. But I can't see spending Mustang GT money on that car.. It's not for me but I'll say this, get what makes you happy..

Shave the rear door handles on the FL5... and there's your coupe 😂

Excellent car, it would be nice if Honda experimented going RWD. With these cars you literally need some micky thompson et streets on the front.

Hopefully they're just being a tease and the new Prelude would have at least a Type S.

Honda should’ve make another 2 door Integra Type R instead of the 4 door Type S, but then, price would be too expensive.

Look at how much more approachable the size and shape of that DC5 is vs the Civic. Honda really needs to go back to a more simple smaller approachable formula. Mazda is still doing it great w the MX-5, why can't the great Honda?

The coupe render of the DE5 integra TypeS should've been real thing. Made way more sense than selling 2 hatch backs with the same exact platform and no real differentiation

That’s for sure! The aesthetics are important. The current one has the econobox grocery getter look.

She cute nice video dc5 gang

Back in the days it was so easy to afford sports cars, nowadays it's a hard pass.

REV Matching nice but it's more for the Mustang Guy's with their Long Tube Header's.. They just love downshifting once they get an exhaust.. And I get it.. But if your driving the car me personally that's something I want to do myself.. Save the manuals...

It's actually not the fastest around the Nuremberg anymore. It's another Japanese cars not sold in the states

I just want a FL5 at MSRP 🤷🏻‍♂️

Dear Honda, I truly want a new 2dr hatchback Si; Si-R; R

We needed an ITR not an ITS

I’d rather have another s2000. Front engine rear drive

鈴鹿🤣

The Dc5 geometry and McPherson strut set-up couldn't touch the DC2. This comparison is not close, FL5 easily wins this. The chassis, suspension, torque and overall power; I must be missing something. 🤔🧐

Fl5 is a whale! You can't even call it a hatchback anymore

I use to own the 2001 Integra Type-R. Bring back the Type - R coupe and I will definitely buy another Type - R. The 4 door look is not for me.

Prelude

people want a type R coupe but then honda barely sold any 10th gen civic coupes or even 9th gen accord coupes hmmm is the market for an expensive fwd coupe there? the brz/86, Z, Mustang all continue to exist only because they're updates on older platforms, and the Supra because of BMW making the car for toyota, not to mention toyota is magnitudes larger than Honda as a company too

I disagree with her on not having the rev match on the fact of the matter is that you are not going to rev match better than a computer

Please honda give us a damn coupe I'm tired of 4doors 🙏👌

Coupes are dead. Sad but true. Especially liftback coupes for some reason despite them being the most practical. (And no, I don't mean a hatchback, I mean a LIFTBACK like a Scion tC. Hatchbacks are ugly and lame(usually))

Intergra fl5 is coming

The current Civic could be described as a "4-door coupe". Why is the hatch so damn racked? It could be loads more practical than that. This is probably also why we won't get a coupe. The current Civic was made to fuze hatch and coupe together, creating the worst of both worlds.

We dont want a type r coupe... Honda is bringing back the prelude though...

Honda failed when they made the civic into the intégra, and then decided to push a civic type R which should have been called Intégra Type R. The civic R is not very popular in Japan because Honda is basically terrible now.

I love it but too expensive. All cars are. FJB

Original philosophy of making Type R's (from the Father of Honda Type R after NSX-R) = "Young people can effort" and "It's built for track but you can drive it on the road if you so opt". Now = "It is built for both the road and the track" - which is a "split personality" statement in my own opinion. You simply cannot work against fundamental physics. Put it more bluntly, I personally would not buy a Honda if I want a turbo (my personal opinion only - no generosity).

Cars so expensive and a ripoff these days

We don't want another slow pos dc5. Give me modern turbo

Elantra N DCT FTW

This would benefit from a focused conversation-review instead of blabbing constantly. You’re losing viewers because of it guaranteed.

sports cars are 2 doors . end of story anything else is just compromise cuz your lost your balls .

Dc5 is oold news we want new cars

No coupes they are lame honda we want sedands
