New Civic Si spied: Honda converts concept to reality



AUTOWEEK
Posted Date: 7/13/05
We thought our first chance to see the next Honda Civic Si coupe would come this fall when it is expected to make its premiere at the Specialty Equipment Market Association show in Las Vegas. But our spies have captured the production-ready car a few months ahead of Honda’s schedule.

Looking much like the concept that Honda showed at the Chicago Auto Show earlier this year (AW, Feb. 21), we expect just a few minor production changes, including adding functional door handles and a huge exhaust tip.

The Si will be powered by a 200-hp VTEC four-cylinder mated to a six-speed manual transmission. Look for it in showrooms late this year.
