New Si (06 production?)
Check out http://www.vtec.net/articles/view-ar...icle_id=396413 !!
The new Si looks pretty swell eh? Observe the K20? powerplant, sweet looking interior, 6 speed, the Nav option, the unusual maroon (like the old crx si's, yeah!) color, AND 5w-30 on the oil cap. Dunno about the digital speedo though. Yay! I want one, yep. |

I certainly expect some price gouging with this model. If I was to buy, I would wait until the 07's and see what the demand is like then. Maybe you close with 25k, it certainly is a lot of car (powetrain, classic lofty Honda redline, and lsd) but I don't think markups will last too long, especially with the current oil climate, I think the market will be a little soft for anything performance, this puppy will take high test no doubt. |

Check out www.vtec.net, there's a ton of info and pics of all production trim lines. I read the MSRP of the new Si is 19,600 and 20,300 with Navi, what a bargain! Speculation will end soon, today, 9/1 Honda will release all official info including MSRPs. |

The pic with the red hot sexy speedometer with the 8 grand redline was
enough to make me want to run out and get one. But then the Techno/Luxury steering wheel and the suspiciously looking, narrow seats (not many people are as wide as me) put a damper on things. A Nav system that can't play DVD seems like a total waste of $$$. I'd settle for my portable Nav (Roadmate 300...which is awesome) and one of those in dash-DVD screens that can extend to tilt and rotate (for passenger's viewing pleasure). The silver color seems to be the nicest, since it matches the big 'H' logo in the front grill (getting aftermarket colored 'H' logo is probably going to be a big seller). But the red 'Si' logo in the grill has got to do (hopefully, it's easily detachable). The front wheel well seems a little bigger then the rear, but it doesn't upset the very nice lines. It's too bad that they couldn't carry over the mid exhaust port (as per concept Civic Si), or have it as an option. Hopefully, the non Si engine is going to be amazingly fuel efficient. With gas prices at $1.26/Litre ($4.54/Gallon), efficiency is going to be a big selling point. Even with the brain numbing gas prices, I'm still gloating at the pumps, since I can still get 700km from my tinny tank, while the SUV owners are in tears *grin*.
