2006 Civic Si A SIGNIFICANT Improvement over the current Si. http://forums.clubrsx.com/showthread...=216316&page=4
I guess Honda got the message with US buyers bitching about the fact that Honda decided to apply the Si moniker to a hatch once again with the previous car whereas the fourth gens were coupes. I like the TL/TSXish headlamps and the Accord Coupe/TCish rear tailamps. Not a bad looking car. And for once the US spec Si looks to be on par with the JDM/Euro/Aussie spec Type R as this one will supposedly get a full 200hp rather than the usual 160hp to keep it from infringing on Integra/RSX territory. Me wonders if the 210hp RSX Type-S will finally get the 220hp Type-R motor in a year or two.

Looks like the typical asian (coupe) car. Personally, not my taste. I'm sure the honda guys will love it though.

From what I can see the front looks ok. I think the Cobalt looks a hundred time better.
