Honda unveiled the Honda Civic Si Sedan Concept at the Chicago Motor Show, the first Civic Si in a sedan form. The Civic Si has been available in Coupe form already, so Honda took the high-performance features of the Si Coupe and integrated them into the Honda Civic Si Sedan Concept. This concept Si Sedan will be the base of the new Honda Civic Si Sedan.
As with the Honda Civic Si Coupe, the Honda Civic Si Sedan Concept comes with a powerful 197 horsepower K20 i-VTEC DOHC engine with a redline that touches the high heavens – 8000rpm. This is mated to a 6-speed close ratio gearbox to keep the revs in the i-VTEC high cam area during spirited acceleration. The car also has a helical LSD for improved cornering performance.
All that power to go forward needs stopping power so Honda has fit the car with cross-drilled disc brakes on all four wheels. 4-piston Brembo calipers are used. The rims are 18″ cast aluminium alloy rims wrapped with 225/40/ZR18 tyres. Note the ZR rating instead of R, that means the tyre can be used for higher top speeds.
A production version of the Honda Civic Si Sedan will go on sale in Fall 2006 as a 2007 model.

Gorgeous!!!!!
wow, what can i say…very very nice ma..
however here in M'sia, we have much cheaper altenative…the GEN. 2 hehehe…
WAAAAAAAH!!! This is the JDM based model, means we can get the Civic locally and modified with the bodykits !!!
Looks damn good! i really prefer JDM!
(mulut nganga) want to cry already seeing this baby!
Don't quite like the spoiler design.
at last, a refreshing butt….,and i'm having insomnia.what a babe!
aiyo… i can't help to luv this superb nice car design, rating 10.1 out of 10.
Equip with the mighty engine but why it's a single pipe exhaust. Twin pipe always look nicer and more "man"!
Brembo brakes? Wow! Mean machine!
The only thing i like bout the car are the brembo's.
alamak: this is the USDM model.
good shock…
Looks garang but no point drool over it. Not gonna reach Malaysia.
Overall look better than Mugen Civic Dominator….JDM Civic can take this styling too, especially the very nice front skirt…
nothing special.. its ugly..
i definately don't like the rear design..
plus,they just changed the badge to Si,
but i preferred Accord than this Civic Si
fuyo fuyo fuyo….. dam cun… how long to wait for it? front dam kau cun… spoiler kinda ugly for it… but notice or not? the backlight if tutup quarter means like audi a4 only… wat la honda…
Whole car looks simple and agressive, but the small and single exhaust pipe looks outta place though.
bwa haha….
the potential of the new honda civic.
without the bodykit and stuff, it could be just another john doe's car. and with the kit, the hidden DNA is unlocked.
Rock on HONDA!!
sumhow it look tough. ^_^
need to do sumthing about the spoiler tho. anyway it's better looking that the std. version.
manual or auto tranny?
6-speed close ratio manual.
This kit help the not so nice rear design of stock civic…Something just not fit. Maybe the rear lamp?..My dream Civic would be the front Sedan Civic Si + Mugen Dominator engine + Civic Si Coupe interior + rear DC5….someone out there pls do that coz certainly i cant afford…hehe
The spoiler is ugly and the rims just don't suit the car… Other than that, I can't seem to see anything else wrong with this beauty!
LOVELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nothing is better then this one
it will cost a bomb also la. but its very nice
rims okla, yeah the exhaust should put dual la… that only cekap…
rims okla, yeah the exhaust should put dual la… then only cekap…
Paul do you know what price range is going to be on it???
I just paid a deposit and booked the car on January 06. Apparently it is said to be priced around RM118k for the 1.8vtec and about RM130 for the 2.0vtec.The launch is on the 8th of March. Since I booked it early I may get my car by the end of March! Cant wait.
Sweet car. 2 things good of honda. Make Acura who makes awesome cars We own 2. sweet and safe cars
SI seda is OK – love the digital speedo – wish it to be more like S200. The Civic 5 door SI market is Europe is hell lot cooler than the SI coupe marketed in US. will prefer Mazda 3 5door over US version of SI coupe.
No HID???!!!
Any idea what will this car price go for?
Dealer sell 06 si 3000 dollars more than the sticker price.
the tail light is very impressive… and sporty
