Have been wondering is the current Spartanly optioned USA Si with its smallish 1.5T was developed as a filler between the launch of the Civic and the launch of the new Accord......? The 2.0T that is in the Accord Sport should have been the engine of choice for the Si yet, in North America...

Interesting info concerning the Si transmission offering.......found this very recent article and thought it might be helpful for those trying to make a buying decision with the regards to the Si.
