now it all depends on the price...
how much will this gem cost?
I would assume either the same or very similar to the Si coupe ($19,990).

BTW the current Civic EX sedan and coupe cost the same amount ($18260). Also, the EX coupe comes with a subwoofer and the EX sedan does not.

I approve. :thumbsup:


BMW CCA and BMW NA worked really hard to convince BMW AG to create that 4-door E36 M3. And it is nice to see that after all these years BMW may be heading back in that direction with an M3 as the 2-door will become an M4.

GOOD JOB HONDA!!!

Honda as "green" as they seem to be. They need to try harder to make a bigger engine as green. If you look from 1990's till now, all you got was the B16, B18, and H22.

Now from 2002+ they gave us the K20 and K24.
Is it going to be another 10 years for a 2.5 4cyl?

With all that money they make, couldn't they just build a new plant and start designing cars outside the current FWD platform, and the SH-AWD with the weak V6's.

I love Honda and don't get me wrong. The competition is gaining and could surpass Honda. If they took the approach like Toyota does, then I wouldn't care, but since they aren't I'm kinda worried.

Not sure what that has to do with the civic Si sedan.

But the new turbo engine in the RDX coupled with SH-AWD seems quite nice.

Who would ever imagine Honda would do something crazy like that.

Honda spends the most on R&D for a car company of its size. I am not too worried of them falling behind.

Umm -- how do you figure that? Little 4 banger that is front wheel drive ....

That said, it looks to be a nice car and should slot in well with the segment. I wonder if like the 4-door GSR this one will actually be a bit better on the track than the 2-door because of added rigidity.

One question.....Will the hood be that same color as the rest of the car or have that ghetto look?

Usually I like all my cars body panels to match. Otherwise it looks nice for the price.

the si coupe concept had a black hood also. the production model has a matching painted hood, so i think it would be safe to assume the sedan will have a body colored hood also.

This looks like a great option for my next daily driver. I'm ready to "grow up" from 2 doors, but I still want a fun car. I'll have to check it out when they're released.
