Exactly. Every other sport model compact on the market like the GTI offers an auto. There are so many Civic Si purists that just hate the idea of the Si getting an auto, like it somehow ruins their driving experience. The DCT from the ILX would be perfect in the Si and it would broaden the appeal to more customers and make more sales, and that's what selling cars is pretty much all about. They just don't like that the Si will lose some of its exclusivity if they offer an auto and more people start buying them. Well some people don't want to deal with a manual transmission, i do 90% city driving, stop and go constantly. But i want a sporty reliable car for weekend country driving. A quick shifting DCT auto in the Si would be my ideal car, people need to stop being so upset that their manual only car would suddenly appeal to a larger audience and lose some of its exclusivity.Why? If both auto and manual are offered on Si that means more choices for everyone?
I've been in forums for the 8th and 9th gen civics since i was in high school. In my experience the Si owners end up ruining forums talking down to everyone else. "Shoulda got an Si" every single time someone talks about modding a regular civic. Instead of being part of the civic community as whole they put themselves on a pedestal above everyone else and the Si being a manual only car plays a big part in that i think. Because some people don't know how to drive a manual or do too much city driving to be bothered with it so they got a regular civic with an auto and wanna do performance mods. Why can't we all just get along and be a part of the community without bashing one persons personal choices over anothers.
Ok, end rant. lol.
