If the 200hp part is true we won't see the next gen Integra for sure.

 

My guess is that the new Civic Si will essentially replace the Integra, and the people at Honda are finally listening to the complaints about moving the RSX more upscale.

 

This new Si will overlap the RSX, I hope the RSX isn't killed off. At least one good thing is that it will bring back those Honda tuners they once had before the ugly uninspiring 7th gen Civics came along.....as long as it lives up to the performance and styling that article says about the '06 Si.

 

Acura and honda shouldn't be sharing design cues. First the rl and odyssey headlights and now the civic and tsx lights? Why.

I don't think its the end of the rsx, think it allows the rsx to become a real luxury coupe, more power, luxury and size, while the civic takes over the small sporty coupe segment like it should.

2 words:

European model.

 

And wow it looks ugly.

 

Maybe it's the pic, but these series of photos were already seen here, although for some reason the hatchback doesn't look so squat and short in these pics vs. the ones previously shown here. In these series of photos, it actually looks normal length.

Except for that rear spoiler integrated into the rear window, it's beginning to look sort of decent.

 

IMO I think Acura should build the next RSX on the S2000 platform and put the 3.0 in it - price at around 30k and watch the money roll in...

 

 

Not a big fan of the styling and no I would not buy it.

 

?? Phile, what is that?

 

from what i heard...the next gen SI would be in a coupe version again..since the 99-00 SI's were very popular..

 

That's an artist's rendering of the spy pics...I don't know how authentic it is, though.

 

I do not think that the S2000 can support the change needed to build a 4 place coupe with out building a whole new platform.

It would be nice if the 3.0 would fit, but the same issue is there. Will the current S2K hold the 3.0.

The RSX should be built off of the TSX. The 2.4l motor, and an interior more in line with the rest of Acura's offerings would be welcomed. Lets not forget a standard center arm rest! I would like to see the TSX offer a V6 with an i-4 option during the next generation. But not likely to happen given the possibilty of the BMW 1 coming state side in i-4 form.

 

why the hell does the Si have to come in hatchback form? I want a coupe dammit!!

 

Go and read the ToV article, they are saying the 06 Si will be a coupe. All of the picutres you have seen so far are European model.

 

 

Think it would be kinda cool if there was a sedan version also.

 

Its amazing how honda despite low sales for their current SI, still manage to come up with even an uglier version of the SI

 

civics are one of the ugliest cars ever. especially the little hatchback things like in those pictures. how does it appeal to anyone...

 

I'm hoping and wishing that the if Honda does offer the civic with 200HP, Acura would have to bring in what a lot of Honda fans want... The DC5R.

 

More info on the Civic Type R model. Got the info on another forum.

Civic with 2.4L developing 250bhp....I doubt it.

Still, I like the styling. Too bad we can all probably agree that we won't get the Type-R here, just the Type-S labelled as Type-R.

And notice it will be more expensive than the outgoing Si/Type-R. I figure $22K here in the US for the Type-S?

 

I dont think Honda would market it at $22K for the Type-S. That eats into the RSX market, even with the RSX-S

 

the headlight looks like choped from TSX ~

 

at all the hype/rumor.
