I doubt that'll ever grow on me. And only 220 hp? Do we know yet how much it's going to weigh?

Ewwww, I feel dirty just looking at it. I don't get Honda sometimes. How do they have such a nice looking Si coupe, and follow it with this freak of nature? Not to mention that they dropped the Prelude, and now are dropping the RSX.

They better redeem themselves with this new CRX coming out, or....., or...... well they'll still sell millions and millions of Civics and Accords.

So why did Autoweek watermark the pics? There's a ton of better ones from the autoshows.

WTF is that!!! The last REAL SI to me was the 92-95 hatch, and I'm still wondering why the del slo got the b16 and the hatch didn't...

IMO Honda seems to have been going downhill, besides the S2000.

Looks more appealing than public transit, but not by much.

You tards, that's the Type R version of the European civic:

I wouldn't think we'd see that stateside...

Built on the Fit platform so it retains the rear torsion beam. You might as well consider this the closest thing Honda would make to a CRX. They dropped the weight and didn't mess with the power all that much (but I don't know what the weight is)..........UNLESS they call it a CRX and bring it to the US


Realistically, it will most likely never see US shores, at least not for sale in dealers.

Also, the type R version won't have the suicide doors. The euro civic does.

I coulda sworn Top Gear reviewed this thing.

Oh wait, it wasn't the CTR, just the normal civic. Either way,they liked the base:

The new civic SI's are PIGS, weigh more than my Extended Cab Tacoma... nearly 2900 lbs. Can't see a hatchback weighing a bunch less unless it's a completely different chassis.
