I was told at the dealership where i got my car by the sales manager that it looked like they were dropping a k20 (160HP) in the coupe and getting rid of the Si (Canadian SiR) shape cuz its sales werent too great.

none of that was final but it was in the talks. im gonna be meeting the sales manager again next week so i plan to find out some more info. havent gotten any info recently so hopefully he has some news for me on the 2006.

With the gasoline supply so precarious it seems strange that Honda would change its marquis economy car into a rocket pocket gas guzzler.

i doubt honda would do drastic power increases because its supposed to be a fuel economic and just a plain ol' econo box...they'll most likely to some changes but nothing too drastic in terms of powerplants and power

there were some rumors on temple vtec last summer about the 2006's having 140hp and only the si possibly having 200hp. This seems to make more sense to me. All they gotta do is turn the d17 into a 1.8 liter engine and get the extra hp, also keep the good mileage. 200hp seems a little high consider the type S only has 210 or something. i'd imagine they would put in a detuned k20a2 and make it 185 on par with a celica. When they got rid of the prelude they left a big hole for those people who want more power then a economy car but dont want to pay for the luxury elements of an Acura.

I think there tryin to make the civic more of a premium economy car with the honda jazz and fit more toward the lower end economy car competiting against the scions and kia's. Maybe trying to make the Si appeal more toward the prelude crowd. i doubt they want to be like toyota and just spin off another brand name. No matter how ugly we think those scions are with the exception of the TC, there no doubts that Scion has been a success for toyota. Honda will need to restructure there line up to compete against the scions and kia's.

If they offer 200hp and leather interior for the 06 civic then i'm gonna trade in my 04 and get the o6. No point in wasting money saving for a 5-8k engine swap and spending 500-1600 for leather seats when you can have it all stock. It would be nice but in the end its all rumor until honda releases something. Right now, i dont think there line-up is very competive if you take way the reliability and quality of the honda name and just look at what they offer, its a lot less for a lot more then there competitors.

Yes the civic is meant for an economy car, and say it did in fact upgrade to the RSX K20 engine or w/e it is. Doesnt that also get excellent gas mileage at 36 mpg??? This thought, although unlikey, seems as if its a possibility.

My line u in the last page has gotten mailed out!!!

Since the Fit is comin out the DX-HX will be a eco car now like how the EX is now and the EX and on will be a eco/sports car to fill in the prelude .. the Fit is gonna get the more eco so the civic can still be eco yet more of a sports car EX and up but DX-HX will be eco cars
