Wow...looks like they have some work to do. I think that they left the "goods" out of the car to keep em guessing. Obviously, someone went odwn low to find out whether it was a boy or a girl and they didnt want it to be known at this point. I dont thin that a 1.8 would be viable. Its all about cost saving now-a-days. They already made a variant of the 2.0 k20a2 now called the k20z or watever. I dont think they would introduce a new motor variant for a dying car (rsx). I think that the 05 rsx-s was sporting this new motor as kind of a real-world test. And before people say that the k20z is a k20a2 with different mounts and such....There is a bit more different with the z block or all the a2 parts would work on the z block. Anyways, most of the motor is the same from the k20a2 to the k20z and I think that we are likely to see the k20z block breathing life into the civic si. That does beg the question "What motor will be in the ex?" Could be a detuned k20z or a k20a3 I guess.

Fans, I am from Panama, Central America. Here the Fitt or Jazz model, has a market down here for a couple of years. Is a economicar car. A part of the RSX is not sells here, the civic is very popular here. A second hand RSX fom US is about 20.000 USD. And we only have 5 of them. The 7th gen Si HB does not have market here. PRICE! The last config from Si is the VTI 4 doors, from JAPAN up to 2000, and we have a couple id SI HB. (OEM). The Fitt is a nice car, also to drive. For the production 06 civic, for the specs that i see, is going to be expensive here. The same specs can be find for less price. But one thing that i know, I want one.

Like what? Gimme a language

Peut-être vous voulez que je signale en français ?
¿O usted quisiera quizá que fijara en español?
我是使用足夠的外語為您嗎? 可能您想要某些中國人。

Is this good enough???
