Any word on the engine for the Si? Will it be an updated K20 variant?

Looks good to mean, at bare minimum you can't say it's worse than the current civic. I like it

A few news sites are reporting a 2.4L motor for the Si, which probably means 220 hp and more torque but a lower redline.

Sounds perfect, although I'm hoping more for 240-250ish bhp. A 2.0 --> 2.4 jump should get a heftier bump in ponies, not '23 bhp'. With tuning/mods the new K engine should easily hit 260-280 whp if the K20 is anything to go off of.

I like the way the new Civic Si looks, very aggressive but I'd need to see it in person to really get a good feel for it. Hopefully they can regain some of their lost ground in the sporty coupe/hot hatch market segment that the GTI/MS3 have taken from them.

I like the new one cuz it looks more like it's moving when stopped than the current one

They definitely have a similar style but that's cuz it's an evolutionary design

It looks good~ish, but this is the Si model. I think the base models are gonna look like crap.The concept is rolling 19"-20" wheels Picture that body on 16's or 17's.

The sedan looks good.

Anyone notice the (4pot?) brakes? Maybe same ones from the TL-S... Pretty cool.

I think they both look fine. I really enjoyed my 8th Gen Si.
