Si prototype? or just regular Civic?
do you have a link? haven't seen it yet.

I don’t think we’ll see the 12th gen till 2028 as a MY29 product. We could see the Si come back again if they deem it with the cost.

i'm not sure why the EPA has a problem with it. It's the same engine used in the base model, basically (in terms of MPGs). It gets great fuel efficiency. what's the problem?

I think it's only a problem when paired to the 6MT, not so much the engine itself?

I wonder if the EPA thing is just a scapegoat for uncertainty about tariffs. Si is made in Canada. Trump decided he wanted 50% tariffs on their exports. I don't think anybody wants a $45k Si.

My next car will be a type r, so it's ok.

The memo is nonsensical because the trump admin has basically ended CAFE restrictions. So if Honda is really ending the si, someone is making up bullshit as the reason would not be the EPA.

I wouldn't put it past a shady dealer circulating a fake memo to gen up a few sales with extra extra markup.

I just think this entire thing is an excuse to get the 1.5T engine out of circulation so they don't have anymore class action suits. The EPA stuff is complete bs

Think he may have been referring to that prototype sedan they showed earlier this year, that and the new hybrids they were testing

Are they pausing the MY27 Integra (1.5L) manual too? So, only Honda manual cars will be Type R and Type S? Sad.

This really sucks. Not to be doom and gloom, but this basically means the affordable (manual) enthusiast cars are dead. Civic Si is gone, GTI is auto-only, GLI is dead, Elantra N is supposedly dropping the manual. I guess we still have the WRX and 86/BRZ, but that's it.

I hope this doesn't mean the Type R and Type S are next on the chopping block.

Yea the Integra Aspec 6spd is paused as well

right....but still, i wonder what the "unclear regulation" is. maybe the EPA forgot M/Ts exist and don't have a way of testing them anymore? lol

and why is the Type R ok? it's a manual too.
