Confirming speculation, Honda has revealed the new 2012 Honda Civic Si with a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine making 200-hp.
A slight increase of 3-hp over the outgoing model, the larger displacement engine (by 0.4-liters) makes 170 lb-ft of torque, a more drastic jump of 31 lb-ft. http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2...0-hp-2-4l.html |

Same 140hp for the regular Civics and only 5 speed gearboxes too. Is this a fail for Honda? Looks better than the 8thgen though.

Same power from a bigger engine? And the height is that of the Crosstour?

VS 
The Ride height is a bit....  Quote:
That's right, this is the 2012 Honda Civic in all its glory. Though it might be difficult to tell with just a casual glance, this Civic is brand-new, sharing practically nothing but its moniker with the previous generation. As much as we may have liked some additional visual flair, it seems Honda is being conservative and aiming right for the heart of the market with five separate and distinct flavors of its compact offering.
We'll start with the all-new HF model, which, as you may have guessed, is the most fuel efficient of the non-hybridized Civics that will be available in the United States. Honda expects the HF, with its 1.8-liter i-VTEC engine, to earn EPA-estimated fuel economy of 41 miles per gallon on the highway. The HF will share its aerodynamics package with the returing Civic Hybrid, which manages a combined rating of 45 mpg (a four-mpg improvement over the outgoing Civic Hybrid) thanks to its lithium-ion battery – a Honda-first – and 1.5-liter i-VTEC engine and CVT transmission. There's also a natural gas-powered Civic GX.
While those two models aim for the ultimate in fuel efficiency, we imagine that the standard Sedan and Coupe models will make up the bulk of sales. Buyers will find a 1.8-liter i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine underhood with 140 horsepower that scores an EPA-estimated 39 mpg on the highway (a three-mpg improvement over the last Civic). The Civic soldiers on with a five-speed automatic at a time when most of its competitors are packing six ratios.
And then, of course, there's the sporty Si model. As the Civic that's meant to steal the hearts of performance lovers, it's nice to see a new 2.4-liter powerplant with 200 horsepower mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. Perhaps more importantly, the larger mill pumps out 170 pound-feet of torque, a 22-percent increase over the outgoing twist-starved Si. All that and an additional two mpg on the highway (31 mpg estimated) ought to make for a reasonably fun everyday commuter.
And now to the styling. We'll start off on a positive note: the 2012 Honda Civic is not ugly. Problem is, it's also not hugely attractive. In fact, *yawn* it's not really anything. Both inside and out, this latest Civic is barely distinguishable from the previous generation, and as competitors continue pushing their design envelope forward, well... we really expect more these days. Let's hope the driving dynamics live up to our lofty expectations, and let's also hope that Honda accidentally left the shipping blocks in the cars it used for photography – particularly the Si models – or the new model looks a bit high-riding.

Why don't you guys wait for pictures of it on actual pavement instead of a photoshopped cut-out?
Or, even crazier, in person?

il still never understand why honda wont just slap a turbo on one of their motors, (not rdx)
they would far out perform much of the competition in terms of power,
but their still doing fwd, so thats kinda fail too

Also, the 2012 Civic Coupe is looking... alright I suppose. The interior looks a bit cheap to be honest.

I'm surprised by the bigger engine in the civic.
Most of the other manufacturers are putting in smaller turbo'd or DI engines in their cars (e.g. Mazda3 ). Ironic, as Honda used to be known for putting in the smallest displacement engines...

Fail by Honda. A 2.4l engine and it they can't be bothered to make it put out at least 240 hp. Good thing this line is gonna die out as time moves on...

If they keep this trend rolling, they will eventual axe it from all markets and end the era of civics.

What the fuck 
Does the guy in charge of this redesign drive an Aztec or something...
They should've never swayed from the original 8th gen SI concept design, it was solid
