Trial Production on 2006 Vics started Today :D First day at Honda of Canada MFG, and guess what i saw? Trial productions of the new 2006 coupes. Seems like all the coupes are looking like what we saw at the autoshow, it kept about 85% of what we saw in the pictures or at the shows. About trim levels i'm not sure, but looking at the motor, i saw a D series motor, kinda like ours, not sure if its the same or not, someone said of a new 140 SOHC VTEC. but i'm not sure about that, it kinda looks like a TC from the side..from the front it resembles the TSX.. :susp: i'm stuck in Plant 2, which makes the Pilot, Ridgeline, and MDX. i'll fill in more details later about it. But yeah, an exciting day ! |

^^ not sure actually.. _Viper_ knew tho, he posted something about the release dates of the new vics. |
very cool new +1 to you :tup: |
the release date is in august or summer for the 2006 models and hte si isnt released until sema in november from waht i remember, but i want to see waht the sedan and other 2006 look like |
the sedan and the non si's will have SOHC 140-160hp and the si comes with the 200hp DOHC. si only in coupe form as always. and i think the si's are 5 lug and the ex-vp and sedans are 4 lug if i remember but they all have 4 wheel disc. what else do i remember? oh the wing is for HFP only and wont come on the si's stock. thank god. lol thats all i know so far |
the si is scheduled for a few months later than base models, i think the d-series motor will go in the dx,lx,ex with probaably a d18vtec, maybe ex will get the k20a1 to have 160hp (or d18 dohc as opposed to sohc ) take some pics dude!!!!!!!!!! it is so beyond nescessary that you take a few pics for us, and get some descriptions on colors, interior set-ups, ANYTHING YOU SEE TAKE A PIC EVEN IF ITS JUST A PART LAYING AROUND WAITING WETHER ITS AN INTERIOR PANEL OF A INTAKE BOX LETS SEE IT! |
oh and lets all remember this is canada and they may be different from our models slightly, especially in regard to model badging since our current ex is their si....... if its the same he might tell us the new si has a d-series lol |
someone get this man a very very very very very very small camera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

thats why i did, i just dont want people to get confused, geesh this has been talked about forever, its cool he works near the factory and everything, but still there is nothing written out about waht exactly 100% is on the car and so forth |
Well then I guess we'll all have to wait impatiently then. |
