Civic Si Delayed until June 2017?

[All-Knowing]

My next guess for a reveal is the Dayton Auto Show, where American Honda's headquarters are. Under their featured cars section, it states Honda - coming soon... and there are only a handful of manufacturers in this list. Could be any reveal for them though. Should see something either Wednesday Feb. 22nd, or Thursday Feb. 23rd. Media day is Thursday.

American Honda headquarters are in Torrance, CA not Dayton, OH...

My apologies, I didn't do enough research. They do still have a strong presence in that area: transmission factory, R & D Center, Engine Plant, auto plant, etc.

Why would they talk about the 2017 Civic Si for "vehicles on display"

The Chicago Auto Show is next week.

It looks like a generic blurb about Civic. I'm pretty sure it's been there for a long while. It doesn't suggest the Si will be at the next show any more than it suggests that any other Civic variant will be.

If I had to guess, it will probably be the prototype that was unveiled a few months ago...

I hear ya. I couldnt wait any longer plus didn't want the 1.5T. I looked at GTIs over the holidays too, but came across a new 2016 Focus ST deal that I simply couldn't refuse. Picked up a base model with sunroof for nearly $6k off MSRP ($20,250). I felt like I stole it. Time will tell if I have any regrets maintenance-wise but so far it's been a hoot to drive. First 'American' car I've ever purchased, but it was engineered entirely in Germany and everything about the way it feels and handles shows (even the bolts are metric).

I'll most likely be boosting the torque soon all the way to a monstrous 360 lb/ft TQ for only a meager $700 installed. Given how much I saved on the car, I view it as practically free. Even better, it's a Ford Racing tune and keeps the warranty intact.

Congrats on your purchase! It's great that you found such a deal. I guess it's good to be an enthusiast who doesn't want a CUV. Sport compacts with manual transmissions? Who wants those *lol*?

I looked at the 20k ST deal also. I could trade my Civic EXT even up but I passed.

Wow, what an amazing deal! Congratulations on your purchase. I'm glad you finally found one that makes you happy!

The prototype Si has been on display at every auto show.

 

[DrwMDvs]

Did anyone notice the head unit display on the Si prototype images recognize that it says 'Navigation' on it? I haven't heard anyone mention it, but that's good that they are offering it. I personally won't get that trim as I don't see the purpose with CarPlay. I'm just constantly drooling on these photos and what's to come.... HURRY UP.

 

[87Si89Base16EXT]

Correct! I sort of blurted it out SteveGG style as I am still sour on the new Si 1.5L subject.. seeing as I have a CVT Si outside already; to me..

Hahaha. "SteveGG style" That dude gave us Steve's a bad name. But yep, that described my '87 Si to a t. Hey, did you say you were getting the FlashPro? if so, how's it been?

Not quite as generic as one might believe. The way it's worded, it looks like they have pricing/amenities nailed down.

I wouldn't rule out Chicago.

And maybe some hp numbers and release date.. Oh.. One can only dream

Not ruling it out; just not so sure that page is an indicator of anything. I've looked at it at least a couple months ago and I think (though I may be wrong) that its wording hasn't changed.
Guess I'm not seeing anything special in their wording there, in those two very short sentences about the Si. Curious as to what makes it look to you "like they have pricing/amenities nailed down"...?

Yes I did, its sick, loads of torque now it feels like. Hitting 20.5 psi on the amazing Shell 91 fuel I rave about.

Si is slated between the EX-L and Touring. It's mentioned twice in the coupe/sedan lineup. Though the CTR is curiously absent in the hatch trims. To me this means pricing is set between 23.5-25.5K. And the feature set is just above that in the EX-L. Stuff we've already known, but now reinforced in their PR language. The question on my mind is whether LEDs will be offered with the Si (possible but unlikely).

All of this correlates with their production schedule (if pre-production truly started last week).
