Motor Trend - 2006 Civic (http://motortrend.com/autoshows/coverage/112_chicago_auto_show/index2.html)

Honda displayed a Civic Si concept in Chicago, calling it a “strong indication of the styling and performance direction for an all-new production Civic Si” that will make its real-world debut at SEMA in November. A sneak peek of the sixth-generation Si, the concept features the latest generation of “intelligent” I-VTEC technology, as well as a 200-horsepower, 16-valve DOHC engine mated to a close-ratio six-speed manual transmission. A helical-type limited-slip differential helps improve launch traction and cornering performance, and 18-inch cast-aluminum wheels wrapped in 225/40R18 tires and four-wheel disc brakes with cross-drilled rotors and four-piston Brembo calipers improve handling. “The 2006 Civic Si Coupe will be the most powerful, fastest, and fun-to-drive Si we’ve ever put on the street and the Civic Si concept sets the direction in terms of its styling, package, and performance,” says John Mandel, Senior Vice President of American Honda. The 2006 Civic lineup will include a sedan and coupe, as well as fuel-efficient Hybrid and natural-gas powertrains when it comes to market in the fall.

Cool, i like the hint of the TSX front end on it.

[Speed_69]

wow!! this Si coupe actually looks pretty nice in my opinion. i'm assuming that since that this is the Si in the United States, this is the SiR in Canada?

[djayz]

thats pretty nice...atleast it looks better then the other hondas they are pushing out

[90Tegra]

wow that looks nice anyone have a back shot of the civic

No hatch? :(

[heavyD]

I'll wait and see what engines they give us in North America. We know Europe & Japan will get the good engines but will we? If we get the 160hp 2.0L I would definately pass. If we get the RSX Type S 2.0 liter engine in the SiR, my interest is definately piqued.

[2002civic]

i believe that is the engien we get i saw on 7thgencivic were getting the 200 hp, and i think it might be the k20a2 or soemthing really similar

[rip]

I'm a pretty big fan of that :thumbsup:

[Dirty_SOHC]

I kinda like it

[chunger_11]

wow thats alot nicer than the EP2

[CRXguy]

Something nice for a change from Honda. :hitit:

[sputnik]

I wonder if they are keeping the engine listed at 200hp to keep the RSX-S as the "premium model".

Audi/VW did something similar with the 1.8T engines.

Audi 1.8T TT/A4 = 190hp
VW 1.8T GTI/Jetta = 180hp

[cookbob]

I like it, it kinda looks like a newer accord coupe.

:werd: The exhaust in the middle is kinda different, overall I think It looks good:thumbsup:

[Impreza]

Looks great! but then again, the actual car will probably be a lot more toned down and less sporty looking

[lastprodigy]

the back 3/4 view makes it look like those ion/cobalt cars with thte high rearends especially.....bring back the 6thgnen:thumbsup:

[JordanLotoski]

its nice, but any prototype looks amazing....will look nothing like this for production.

:werd: those are my favorites..especially the SiR's

[izzoblitzo]

no door handles?:dunno:

[joseph]

Not bad, hope they go through with it

[Toms-SC]

Wow, looks good!

It's a concept.

[A_3]

That looks really good, i'm impressed by Honda. It definetly has a bit of new Accord in it but over all looking really nice. :thumbsup:

[cujo_cjc]

From what was discussed on www.vtec.net
That car is pretty much production ready
There will not be Brembos though, and also the 18's will be substituted with 17" rims. And the spoiler is gonna be there...except it wont sit as high

And Im not sure about the body and stuff...but most likely not the black hood and roof. And the side moldings and stuff will probably be accessory added

Other than that though....since its now pushing a 200hp ivtec motor, the RSX is soon to be killed off

i doubt honda/acura would kill it off, its their best seller. I think they would more likely replace it with something a little bigger, and in a different genre, like the new eclipse or something.

[Def_3]

:thumbsup: looks classier :bigpimp:

[cujo_cjc]

the rsx is their best seller?
from what ive read its the slowest selling car in the acura lineup other than the nsx

i hope it doesnt get completely killed off but more likely some type of sporty acura coupe will replace it sooner or later

[grocko]

:drool: If this is what the 2006 Civic will look like, i'm stoked!!

I have heard many things about them getting rid of the RSX too...I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens? :dunno:

[oddjob]

thats a nice civic. will the lx and dx model look like that too?!

[Hash_man]

:eek: Wow, that looks so nice, if the production car is anything like that, i'll be very impressed.

[Weapon_R]

It's nice, but where's the hatch version?

[TypeS]

thats hot!! I love the headlights, and it sounds like a civic may actually get a decent performance package this time around! brembos!!!! you honda guys must be going nuts:thumbsup:

[Skyline_Addict]

wow cool!
looks like a mini TL.

[gpomp]

weight will make or break this car!

[CKY]

the rear end is a little too "round" for my taste, i prefer bolder edges and outlines, and it wouldn't hurt if they made the exhaust a bit bigger

[88CRX]

no hatch :thumbsdow

ugly ass end :thumbsdow


but who knows, we'll have to see what the actual production model looks like. you know it wont have 18's, it wont have brembos, it wont have those fender flares, exhaust and it will be 4x4ing :dunno:

[lam-boy]

car looks pretty nice from my pov.

[Weapon_R]

The million dollar question is: What will it sell for? I don't think you can get away without spending 25-27k for this new one, especially with that kind of engine and bold styling

[rice_eater]

the back, the muffler and the wing need to go, but other wise good job honda

:werd: the muffler is one of the nicest things on the car, would u prefer a 7" fart can instead?

[Billy]

very nice indeed, cant wait for it to come out.

[joseph]

They need to reply to the domestic manufacturers who are bringing out cars like the Cobalt SS and the SRT-4. Seems like this might be their answer. :clap:

[in*10*se]

wow :bigpimp: :bigpimp: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

oh hell no, but what they went for isn't much better IMO.


you know, everything on this car looks and sounds pretty good so far, but how much will all these toys cost? will this be a 40k civic when it's all said and done??
