Secondly, what do you think the SiR (Si) is? It's a hopped up version of the Civic.

Rep Power: 288 i found another picture, seems to be a back end. looks like a hatchback, not the traditional civic hatch tho, but more like the older late 80s accord or the TC or the integras, so it will feel more like a coupe than a minivan.
looks like a full glass top and an aggressive wing

If the new Civic (and SI for that matter) is something ala a RSX, it's going to reach the $20k+ range and Honda isn't going to have much to offer on the low-end.

Rep Power: 288 Might be old news from the January press conf from Detriots auto show but the next civic might be the safest compact car yet, just like the 7th gen in 2001.
"The new Civic, being introduced this fall, will feature anti-lock brakes, side curtain airbags, driver and passenger side airbags with Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS) technology and pedestrian safety features as standard equipment on all U.S. Civic models. In addition, the new Civic will utilize Honda's Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure for improved occupant protection and compatibility with larger vehicles in a collision, the first application of this technology in a compact-class vehicle."
