I was just playing..cause in 8 years it increased the HP amount by 8, therefore in 2106, if it followed the same rate, the 2106 civic would have almost 300hp

But because its 2106 it wont use gas anymore itll be all eco alternative fuel like

Maybe thorium powered civic

Yep they added 4 horses and 4 torques.

170+lb/ft is finally half decent...the Honda of yesteryear was significantly less than that and didn't weigh that much lighter

The on-paper numbers went up by a hair, but the wheel size also went up from 17" to 18", meaning that they have likely gotten heavier.

For street use, I'm willing to bet that the pick up and go eagerness in the new car will deteriorate due to the heavier wheels. Adding insult to injury, those new wheels look rather ugly to me.

Unnecessarily big wheels are always a detriment in my books.

There's a reason for that.
The '06-'11 model had the K20Z3 that redlined at 8000, with 139 lb-ft of torque.
They've sinced switch to the K24Z6 with extra displacement, and 170 lb-ft of torque, but a redline at 7100.

From what I've heard, the engine is not nearly as fun, with VTEC not having much of an effect in this application.

At least the dealers will be having massive price cuts on the 2013 Si's

Last time I went, they were doing a $7,000 discount on the 2012 Si Sedans, so I presume they will do the same for the 2013 models.

^^ Hmm... in that case, what would happen to the 2012 Si that the dealers still have? $10k discount on those? $20k OTD for a CSi?

Power isn't necessarily always the driving force (har har har) behind buying a good car. Look at the GTI - it's not particularly powerful compared to some of it's rivals, but that HP deficit is made up for by luxury and the way it handles in the corners. If Honda can make the new SI handle just as well as the EP3 SiR hatch of old, you wont care that the HP gains have been minuscule over the years.

Honda really took the term 'facelift' literally. :-\

Still happy with my '12 Si
