Here's a cut to the portion discussing the Si, Type R and manuals

There you have it. Si... "manual only". Around the 9:30 mark of the video.

Now we just need to see the Si body styles. Sedan only, Si hatch??

Too bad. Guess I'll keep my 10th gen. The 11th gen literally offers nothing better than what I already have. This'll be the first generation I'll skip since the 8th gens came out. Maybe they'll actually offer something worth while come time for the mid cycle refresh.

Typical Honda bull headedness. Disappointed but not surprised in the least.

Were people saying that the Si would be cvt?

 

[gtman]

Some were hoping for an Si DCT version along with the manual.

 

[hobby-man]

An Si/R DCT would be the final nail in the coffin of Acuras sedan lineup.

Well there it goes, out of the Honda game. No auto Si, oh well was fun while it lasted.

No doubt. Which is why I've been saying the Si would likely be manual only when folks suggested Honda might give the Si an automatic option.

^ Me plotting how to get the honeycomb into my 10th gen

 

[TypeSiR]

An Si with manual only doesn’t preclude the fact that Honda can still offer a DCT in the Civic lineup, just a smaller chance.

 

[xaviersayys]

An Si with a DCT or even 10 speed auto would be nice. Definitely would lead to a bit more sales IMO. If that was an option I would’ve gotten it. Living in the city leaves me w no patience of driving a manual.

If you want the badge, learn to row your own gears. Right on

You think the next Sport Touring hatch might appeal to you?? At this rate I'm doubtful the SI will even offer a hatchback either...but if there is a Sport Touring model it might work for me...especially if the Sport Touring still offers the manual transmission.
