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.

Would it be possible that someone already has the new Si?? or at least is driving it??
I know you guys would be like WTF?? but, my friend here at work says he saw this old man with a tie(maybe a corporate rich man/ or maybe one of the district managers of Honda) driving the new Si on US1 down here in Miami!! At first I thought he was just pulling my leg, but he described the car exactly as it is. My buddy is into American cars, but from the description he gave me, it had to be the Si. He mentioned the glass roof, almost no trunk and its small wing, blacked out headlighs, big rims and on top of that the HONDA emblem...could this be possible?? Man if it was the Si, I missed a great sight! I wonder if someone with enough money could already have this car. Yall know the saying: Money talks, bullshit walks!

Rep Power: 308 I dont think he owns it but I think manufacturers give the new cars to some of the bigwigs within the company to "test" in a real world environment. I dont doubt that your friend may have seen a real production version...well, maybe not the final prodcution version as I dont see us getting tinted headlights and the glass roof. I do thing they are being manufactured right now or soon and I think there are some driveable versions floating around somewhere to give sort of a "short term" driveability test. Like to test how comfortable the seats are and how loud the cabin is....that sort of thing.
^^^Yeah that makes sense I guess...I wish I was the one testing that baby...
I forgot to mention that my friend while riding the Metro Rail got a peek at the seats from up top. From the looks of it, it really seems like we are getting the glass roof. I asked him if he was able to see some of the interior, but all he saw was the seats, leather looking and gray in color. Gray? Hmmm, I don't know bout that...I hate uncertainty...
but he was like, bro! it looked like a car from the future

I just got back from the auto show and the new SI looks so good in person. the only thing that was pissin' me off was that i knew there wasn't an engine under that hood. I can't wait until the full working one is out.

Rep Power: 305 2006 civic si chicago auto show vid. They have a sound clip of the car. The sound clip sounds like a RSX Type S. I'm starting to like the spoiler, the tips look aggressive like they are going to attack.

i hope they changed it so that the cat isnt part of the header now.
i don't understand how they can have a sound clip of the actual production motor when it wasn't even in the car at the auto show. i'm thinking it was just a sound clip from one of the k-series motors...k20a,a2,z1,etc...
