  1. For those who want an Si hatch... presenting the 2023 Acura Integra Hatchback

    The more I think about this, the more I like it. I've often thought the perfect car for me would be a more luxurious Civic Si, and this is it, with a very practical hatch and an AT option no less. I've been driving manuals for decades and prefer them much of the time, but the oppressive traffic...
  2. For those who want an Si hatch... presenting the 2023 Acura Integra Hatchback

    I was underwhelmed by the styling in the reveal last night, but Car and Driver's piece has a low rear quarter shot, and from that angle I think it looks cool. I bet ditching the tacky side graphics would help too. C&D also mention an automatic will be available, and please let it be a version of...
  3. For those who want an Si hatch... presenting the 2023 Acura Integra Hatchback

    ...it appears to be on the way in the form of the Acura Integra. It looks a lot like the Civic hatch, uses a version of the 1.5T, and will offer 6MT for only a couple grand more than the Si. I assume it will offer some type of automatic (hopefully not a CVT!), and perhaps more tech/luxury than...
  4. 2022 Honda Civic Si World Debut! ?

    Yes, it can and has been done. I drove a 2012 BMW 328i with MT and stop/start. As I recall, it restarted the engine when you depressed the clutch at a stop, at which point the car shuddered in disturbing fashion. It was a really bad system, which they supposedly improved later during the F30...
  5. 2022 Honda Civic Si World Debut! ?

    I like it, despite the power decrease. I care more about handling anyway, and the power will be enough for my purposes. The torque will provide better highway performance than my 2010 TSX, and the wider power band should improve overall drivability. I was hoping for lumbar support, which is...
  6. 2022 Civic Si reveal tomorrow Oct 19 @ 9am ET! [teaser image]

    I'm sure some will be disappointed in the mellow spoiler, but I think it's great. I'm a bit older than the typical Si buyer, but even in my younger years I didn't like wing-type spoilers on sedans, because they often don't fit the car's lines, and look tacked on. (That includes the spoiler on...
  7. Honda Confirms 2022 Civic Si Will Be Sedan Only

    I recently tested a new Elantra N-Line, a direct competitor to the Si, and it shed light on the Honda's LSD and lack of an automatic/DCT option. First, the Hyundai's lack of an LSD is immediately obvious when giving it the boot, and is a huge disadvantage relative to the Si. Hyundai should add...
  8. Honda Confirms 2022 Civic Si Will Be Sedan Only

    It seems like Honda is committed to the 10AT and CVT as their automatics, with the Civics having only the CVT which would be a horrible match for the Si and unappealing to the Si's enthusiast market. I'm not sure about the 10AT, but maybe it's only suitable for larger vehicles/engines, which is...
  9. Chances of an automatic?

    I'm not sure the WRX has what we'd call crazy power and torque, but it has a lot more than the upcoming Si is likely to have, and Subaru offers it with a CVT. It's apparently not bad, so it must be very different from the atrocious CVT in our 2016 Forester. At first I didn't mind it, but I've...
  10. Chances of an automatic?

    I wouldn't be surprised if the 8DCT from Acura showed up in the upcoming Civic Si, because they have tested the 1.5T with that transmission and even allowed journalists to drive it a few years ago: https://carbuzz.com/news/honda-may-ditch-the-civic-s-boring-cvt-in-favor-of-a-dct If, however...
  11. What do you guys predict the 11th gen Si will be like?

    I've been thinking about this too, and in the U.S. some of it might depend on whether Acura introduces another ILX. If not, I could envision a slightly more luxurious Si variant, whether another trim level or an option package. Otherwise, I think changes will be incremental. Maybe a little more...
