2012 Honda Civic Si Getting Torquier 200-HP 2.4L
***UPDATE*** 2012 Honda Civic Si Officially Revealed, Get Full Details and Specs Here ***UPDATE***
Honda‘s next generation of the Civic Si looks to be a winner, thanks to a nearly-identical powerplant to the one currently offered in the much larger Acura TSX. Replacing the current 2.0-liter will be a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder and while horsepower won’t increase by much, torque is set to go up more significantly.
According to a report by Temple of Vtec, expect between 200 to 210-hp, while torque will jump from around 139 lb-ft to around 172 lb-ft.
The rest of the lineup will then get a version of the current 1.8-liter but with improved horsepower and fuel efficiency.

I love my 8th gen civic si because in heavy traffic, it is very agile. But, it does need more balls. Why in the world doesn't honda make a version with a turbo or supercharger made by honda and not second party vendors? The only problem i have with my 8th gen is that its no longer a true tuner car because not many vendors make shit for it. It is still a great car, but it is my opinion that its not a true sports car.
I don't care for the body style of the new 2012 civic ( all models ). When is Honda going to learn to turbo charge the si. They are trying to tell me it wouldn't be worth it because it wouldn't sell. We need to gang up on Honda and make them turbo the si.
