Well it'd make sense for them to use a K20A2 in it, it's already in production, and it's really easy to install. I can guess that it will be a redesign around the current chassis, but with changes in overall body style. Similar to the 4-5-6th gen civics.

I agree, 200 probably isn't likely. An engine on par with the RSX doesn't exactly fit into the civic's price category. If I had to speculate I would guess around 160. Thats pretty competetive with cars in its class. Perhaps we will see an Si or something with 200, but I doubt standard trim models will see such power. Just my own ponderings though, I have nothing to back this up.

Thank you for saving me all the typing as I was going to write the same thing. I doubt that they would throw 160 and match the competition; they will probably detune it a bit to 150 and still rely on the reliability factor of Hondas as a selling point. You will never see such a huge bump of 73 horses from one model year to another, not without raising the price by a few grand, at least!

200 hp in a stock civic? i highly doubt that. the civic is an econ car known for it's gas milage, not it's power/speed. maybe 200 hp in a coup si...but i highly doubt the ex would come with that. and i'm the president of honda, so i am the most reliable sorce you can get. hahahaha j/k
well...the guy didn't say if it was on a standard trim...but I would doubt they have a "si" with 200hp...its not as far fetched as soom of u guys are making it seem...and like I said, this came from the mouth of one of the engineers working on the car...so, I highly doubt he is bullshiting me, there were other people around too, people in higher positions then him...and so on...I really do think we will see this...he also mentioned that the good gas milage will still be there. Im sure they'll price it higher...
yeah def. no 200hp. that would kill rsx sales numbers and then the si would have no place in the line up unless that was bumped up and the rsx. What would happen to the type R civic in Japan? that would have to be bumped up to 250? or so? It would throw off the whole honda and acura line up if that happened. So all we can hope for is a k serise with 160hp.
Since its already an option over seas I would guess we get a version of the 2.0i-vtec. According to Honda Thailand's web site the 2.0i sedan produces 114 Kw which is roughly 153 Hp. That seems like a reasonable # for a base, and I could possibly see a new si being in 200 hp range.
Hopefully it will be up to 2.0 if not, perhaps as an option.....
but personally, it could be a 1.8L and a 2.0L.
Just curious, what does Civic Si get in the city in terms of MPG?
