what's the story with civic HX? i attempted to do a search on HX but the search parameter is too small.
i recently became interested in purchasing an 04 HX. so i went to a dealer. initialy they told me that they will need to order one because there's none on the lot and other dealers in the area (new england) do not carry it. next day i was told that the car is in the brochure & order catalog, HOWEVER honda has not built them and will not build them (even if ordred). these cars, simply do not exist.
huh?

Rep Power: 316 According to Honda's website, they have an HX in 2004.

Edmunds also shows the model:

There is no news on Honda's site about discontinuing the HX. The HX is the model for Honda to show off their VTEC-E and CVT technology. There's no real reason, other than lack of sales, to discontinue it before the next generation change.
If you can find proof that it IS in fact discontinued, plz post it here.

Rep Power: 0 Why would a Civic HX sound like a moped? It sounds like any other Civic sitting at a constant RPM. CVTs are totally awesome. If the HX would have had just a few more options (power windows is a big one), I probably would have got one over my EX.

nah the noise doesnt get annoying, i like it. im runing 4lbs on my cvt right now and im going to raise it pretty soon. Only problem with the cvt and having turbo is, if you just wanna cruise on the highway and go over 72mph, and barely press the gas pedal, i mean barely, you go into boost and before you know it your going 100mph lol.
I think im the only turbo'd civic hx cvt in the world lol. Sf had to make custom piping cause the transmission was in the way. They had to shave off some of my intake on the turbo inorder to fit a pipe otherwise i wouldnt have a cone filter, just a screen covering the turbo intake which would have sucked.

Rep Power: 0 ok.. what i meant is the RPM is not always around 6500, correct?
for example at partial throttle, say 10%, it could be 3000 RPM, at 50% it could be 4000 RPM..
the more gas you give it the higher the RPM it keeps it at.
is that how it is?
