Well, it might have come with the 2.0T from the Accord if there was no Type R. NA was out of the question: simply wouldn't meet fuel economy goals. But I'm happy with the 1.5I'm not sure why people think of the type r wasn't available that this new SI would come with an additional 50hp and a larger NA engine
Without the type r ...the si would most likely be the same thing
Same. But still bought Sedan, no way was I going to pay 14k more for a Type R. The Si meets my goals.I do wish the SI came in a Hatchback. I would've jumped all over it.
I think most of this was addressed in the above posts. But I'll add that all manufacturers are moving towards turbocharging - including Toyota. Small displacement, forced induction powertrains are the cheapest & most reliable to way to meet the Fed's required fuel economy targets while addressing the power expectations of the common consumer.I'm not sure why people think of the type r wasn't available that this new SI would come with an additional 50hp and a larger NA engine

Perhaps I'm brain-dead this morning, but which Toyota models have a turbocharged engine?But I'll add that all manufacturers are moving towards turbocharging - including Toyota.

Not many ATM. Good read on where they'll be in 5-6 years.Perhaps I'm brain-dead this morning, but which Toyota models have a turbocharged engine?
