As things move further towards electrification and hybrid use it’ll be one of two scenarios. The complete death of a sport Si model, or adaption to the new normal. Hybrid tech isn’t nearly as cost prohibitive as it once was nor does it necessarily add the massive amount of weight it used to. While the Si may forgo these for the 11gen it won’t going forward. I personally would rather see a hybrid Si than none at all. And if it can add power and fuel efficiency at a minor cost increase then IMO its worth exploring to keep sportier offerings on the table.I think there's no chance of that in 11th gen, the Si has always been light and cheap. It might make sense in an Acura where they're not so fixated on cost and weight.
