Doesn’t the Si also have some beefed up engine parts to handle the higher torque? And maybe a slightly smaller turbo? It’s not just an engine tune.
the reason I say that is that the Si with the same power as a tuned up ST would probably be more reliable over time and have a higher tuning...
It looks great as-is, it's not asking for a spoiler/wing IMO as people have been saying.
So much less random ugly plastic trim pieces poking out everywhere
It also definitely does not look like the Insight or the Prius hatch, as the those have the profile sweeping up and back, which made the...
The sport wheels look terrible.
No idea what they were thinking having double spoke design with no taper from the inside to the outside. Looks square and stupid.
if those end up on the Si I’m taking them off immediately
I think that it looks weird because the back little triangle windows are covered, the flow of the back looks more natural and less like a blocky turtle when you can see those windows.
Still I agree a GTI- or Mazda3-style hatch shape looks better vs this liftback-esque design.
This actually looks a million times better in this video than it has in any pictures so far I think once we see a bunch of them driving around most people are gonna think they look great.
also that side profile to me retains more of the side lines of the 10th gen than I thought it would
Si...
It looks incredible in the factory photos.
Been digging the similar color on the new Kia K5, I'm glad we can get it on the Civic - fingers crossed for the Si having it.
It looks like the first picture here: https://www.civicxi.com/forum/threads/2022-civic-sedan-production-begins-in-canada.49785/post-811227
Is probably the meteorite gray? EDIT: post below points out it's Sonic Grey
It looks amazing.
Did it? I have the 2020 Si and the subwoofer farts out at half volume on popular rap songs, it's not like I'm bumping some niche megabass music.
The sound quality and equalization is just generally terrible on any song at any volume.
You have to crank it up to hear anything at even low highway...
It honestly looks great.
I don’t think there’s gonna be any way the white doesn’t look like a low budget rental car, but the other colors are helping this car grow on me.
I am only in the market for the Si anyway and I expect the added aggression for the Si + this generation’s understated...
Honestly I think they nailed it, except for the nose. Lower part of the nose being body color looks off, should be black on sport models and chrome on other trims.
The nose on the current Si beats the nose on the current sedans so I'm hoping there will be something there.
Maybe a mid gen...
The front of the 10th gen non-sport/Si models has kind of a softer/weaker look to it too. I don't think that nose is that much of a change in terms of aggressiveness/sportiness level. As long as the Si has something sharper.
I like the more toned down look, I think it looks great. I love my 2020 Si sedan, but I truly hate the rear fake vents. It's only one thing I dislike about it, but it really kind of ruins the car for me, they just look so plastic and cheap and juvenile.
Will upgrade to an 11th gen Si at some...
