Nothing to write home about but all will be forgiven if Honda puts 250HP in it.
Newsflash⦠they wonāt and neither will they do a hatchback version or give it a CVT. Give yer balls a tug.
Honda should do many things⦠but Honda often sacrifices sales for vision. An auto in an Si would prob sell more Siās but then itās less āsport injectedā. Has an Si ever had an automatic?
The current Accord shouldāve had a hatch. It would be a way to standout more in the sedan market and keep a few of those customers wanting more room from moving to an SUVs. Aim for the A5⦠Iām sure Honda could do a more reliable and space efficient version of that.
First time Iāve seen it, thanks. The rear looks better than the Jetta/Sonata tail lights on the sedan.
Sketch Monkey on YT did a decent job of cleaning them up. Making them smaller makes the rear look more Audi less VW. A black sedan with the tail light lower non-red section tinted would be ok.
The tail lights will probably look a bit more like those on the new HRV. I remember seeing a spy shot of the civic hatch and the way the tail light leds were separated and positioned reminded me of the HRV.
Seems they sell all the type R models they make, i.e. demand intentionally exceeds supply (more value as a halo car than it is for sales volume), so I donāt think theyāre worried about Si sales hurting type R sales.
If they can make the Si more appealing to a broader audience, i.e. by using a...
Better chance of the new Acura compact sedan getting the 2.0 turbo than the Si. That would put the Si too close to the CTR.
A slightly detuned 2.0T in a new RSX type S sedan with an upscale interior is a real possibility given the MDX and TLX type S variants. Iād happily over pay for that...
The 10th gen Si always impressed me with the bang 4 buck you get. LED headlights, heat seats all around, sport front seats, sunroof, built in garmin nav, adjustable dampers, wireless charger, etc.
What Id like to see on the 11th: Bose stereo (current one rattles ridiculously), wireless...
I wish they would, and think they should, have an Si hatch but everything Iāve read on the subject makes me fairly sure theyāre not doing it.
I was really hoping that moving hatch production to NA, where the Si trim hails from, would mean the time has come for an Si hatch. It was unsurprising...
