    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.

    • Loved this generation of Impala SS. It was Magical!!! I am totally confused by your statement, Tightly Wound?????? Having been in both sides of Canada and yearly go to Fairmount Hot springs for the mineral hot springs that rejuvenate me, I find the East Coast of Canada Tightly wound and at times offensive in how they treat people and do things, so much in common with the East Cost of the U.S. and especially the south. As a true PNW person living here, I find going up to Vancouver B.C. to be very relaxed and liberal with a great foodie scene.  I can only think it is where we each are born and raised in our perception of the locals as I find the opposite of what you stated. Or am I miss understanding your statement and you are saying the east coast Canadians who move to BC tend to move back because it is too liberal and relaxed?????
    • When I lived in the Seattle area, I'd go to Vancouver BC about once a month ... just because ... no reason other than its being so close and getting to be in another country. Back then, I'd think, "What would I have to do to live here?"  They're realistically more tightly wound than PNWers.  Eastern Canadians who make the move to their west coast often returrn to where they came from - Ontario, Quebec, etc., because they're not (as) tightly wound. Then, the light bulb went on:  "Vancouver is their Miami." Hmmm. Pass. There is something to be said for abundant sunshine.  And how it can impact your outlook and health.
    • WOW, they have nailed it with their Black edition available on various models. GENESIS UNVEILS GV80 BLACK AND GV80 COUPE BLACK QUOTE: Genesis Black models are defined by their captivating dark-black color theme that extends throughout the interior and exterior, flawlessly embodying the essence of Genesis’ design philosophy “Athletic Elegance” in its purest form.  All visible exterior features in the GV80 Black and the GV80 Coupe Black are finished in black, including the radiator grille, bumper garnish, front emblem, daylight opening (DLO) molding, roof racks and rear bumper molding. Even lesser visible details like the headlamp inner side bezels are black, completing the sleek look.  Someone paid attention to detail on these, the pictures are awesome.
