Why do they keep hooking onto suspension arms? At least we are getting the tow company to pay for new arms, plus the alignment, and two weeks of rental car because the arms were B/O Germany. Will cost significantly more than what the tow cost.

The do, they’re just hidden behind panels on the fascia like most modern cars.
On the front it’s hidden behind some trim:
And on the back there’s a reason why there’s a small seam in the fascia in this area:
That shows the hatchback model. That is a different body style than mine. Thank you though. It doesn’t matter, you will still say I’m wrong.
I am not trying to prove your wrong / there are no awards for arguing on the internet.
I’m just super surprised that they wouldn’t be included as towing a modern vehicle without one is very difficulty due to fascias being a ton lower to the ground than they used to be. Even if you can reach a solid under vehicle tow point, putting tension on whatever you attached to means the fascia will probably be in the way. Tthink loose rope on ground vs taught rope cutting through the fascia.
I agree, its not good. Its hard to prove.

Here’s a forum link where someone said there’s no threads in the front.
I didn’t build or design the car. I said that it wasn’t there.
Im upset that its not there. I travel a lot and don’t even have a spare tire from the factory to save weight. Anyways I digress.
My point is, the tow point doesn’t exist on a new model 2023 Honda Civic si in America and it sucks not having it.
Thank you for the link and taking the time to reply. I am genuinely surprised this is the case as towing is usually covered under warranty, if necessary, and this would put Honda in the position of having to cover damage caused by the tow.
