    Rumorpile: Next Honda Civic Si Could Use A Detuned Version of Civic Type R's Engine

      Next Civic Si could be getting some bits from the Type R

    While everyone has been wiping the drool from their lips with the announcement of the Civic Type R coming the U.S. that will be arriving in 2017, there is still the Civic Si coming around the corner that should whet our appetites when it arrives sometime in 2016.

     

    The folks at CivicX Forums got their hands on some intriguing info on Civic Si. According to a source, the Si will use a detuned version of the turbocharged 2.0L found in the Civic Type R. Power is expected to be around 220 to 230 horsepower. A six-speed manual will be the sole transmission choice. It is expected that the Si will share a number of parts with the Type R as well.

    Once a Honda fan, always a Honda fan.

    I had an Accord from the late 80's that I wish I kept a lot longer.  

     

    Honda's recent styling seems to be gaining traction with me.

    Are you sure, because the new Type R appears it will impress.  I am guessing about 320hp.  So a de-tuned version of that 2.0L should do nicely too.

    I just think that this demographic needs extreme.

     

    Another strong point with the Honda is excellent interior quality, fit  and finish.

    I think the Focus RS falls a bit short in that department.

    If this is one of the few segments that preserves a its tradition of a standard transmission, and if using bold and controversial design elements is something that attracts a lot of attention to the segment.

     

    Then I'm all for it.

     

    The thing is, like how conventional vehicles are starting to look like the production-near concept cars for years ago..

     

    These kind of cars are starting to admirably convince you they are hot wheels cars. And they are hot wheels.

     

    And whenever I think of hot wheels (from my own childhood)... I think of Doritos and Mountain Dew. Anyone with fond memories of any of those three products as a young professional adult today, is the buyer these manufacturers are targeting. I think.

    GM just has to give us a 2.0t option for the Cruze, a performance suspension and skip too many cosmetic changes while keeping the price in check and I'd be happy. Keep the boy racers from wanting to race me. The new Civic does make the ILX seem even more pointless.

      I find that at least 2/3 of the chat features on customer service pages of company websites are sort of worthless.

      Thank you.  You learn something new every day! I guess it depends on the Spanish speaking country.  I see this works as well and probably more Latin American. I've always known them to be "billetes aereos" and even "billetes de avion."

      Not quite but I wish... Quebec has had 7 Amazon warehouses.  1 of them tried to unionize and apparently succeeded.  Amazon then closed down their warehouses. 1700 to 1900 jobs lost.  But its closer to 3000 jobs. The Quebec government is going to sue Amazon for illegally closing down its warehouses and for them to re-open them... Amazon said they will be using 3rd party warehouses OUTSIDE of Quebec and using 3rd party delivery services.   https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/unionized-amazon-warehouse-quebec-concern-1.7441043 https://globalnews.ca/news/10995828/amazon-quebec-legal-challenge-job-losses/ https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/04/amazon-to-face-legal-action-after-quebec-warehouse-closures.html   In my opinion, Quebec cant really legally force a company to leave.  But Amazon also knew, like every other business wanting to do business in Quebec that Quebec is not anti-union. We are not pro-union per se, we will constantly bitch about the evils of unions, but we dont mind if unions do succeed in forming and well...we let unions do union things.   Weird dynamic. My other opinion is that I wished that we NEVER got these phoquing Amazon jobs here to begin with.  Jobs lost is one thing, but a job like an Amazon warehouse employee will really not help out the economy, nor will it help with unemployment or poverty. It will make it worse.  Amazon warehouse employees arent paid all that much, job security at an Amazon warehouse is not all that great and products sold from Amazon dont do much for the Canadian economy nor for the local (Quebec) economy.  Amazon does not pay any income tax to Quebec or Canada nor does a Quebec Amazon consumer pay any Quebec or Canadian sales tax on what he/she bought from Amazon.  All around shyte from an all around shyte company making billions of dollars for a very shytty person named Bezos. Although admittedly not as shytty as Elon Musk.   eeeee...ah-lmost as shytty as Elon Musk if we are honest with ourselves.  When I heard the news that Amazon was closing its warehouses and a couple of these people were on the news almost crying about their jobs going away, I actually blamed them.  I said to myself, why on earth did you want to be employed there for phoques sake?  You are better off on phoquing welfare!!!   Pride for actually having a job?  Not at Amazon!!! One of the lowest things one could do in life is work for a human being like Bezos...
