Go buy a Civic Si then.

That 1.4 turbo is interesting, has the most torque of all 3 engines.

In what crazy world is a honda civic making more power then a turbo dodge 230 hp to 285 hp to.....184 hp??? Although I've noticed they have renamed it R/T so maybe the SRT comparison is invalid

No car in this segment has more then 184 hp. The SRT version as stated right in the title will likely make around 300hp. SRT versions always come a year or two after mainstream models.

On that topic now that I've seen a few on the road is it me or are the 2012 Si's considerably uglier than the outgoing Si?

?uh

R/T != SRT

184 is from a NA 2.4L. Nothing wrong with that.

No nothing wrong with that at all. I thought for a second that they were cancelling the SRT model and replacing it with the R/T. I'm surprised they don't have the SRT 300 hp version on the website, isn't that what everyone is interested in?

Like Aleks said the SRT version always trails after the regular models, give it another year and the SRT will be on the website.

I think the Dart looks great. I'll be interested to check it out at the autoshow next weekend. Of course I was born in the 90's so I have no attachment to the Dart nameplate

I'm going to have to disagree. While I don't think the new Si is the best looking car around, I certainly don't think it is ugly. I know this is a modified civic, so its not entirely a fair comparison. But I think it looks great, especially in sedan form. In stock mode there is quite a bit of wheel/fender gap though
