Well because a lot of people buying the Si if they could afford a Corvette or F Type Jag..Then they would..besides also the insurance...Besides, those 2 cars are not even in same category as an Si..Pppfffbbbttt..LolI love how Honda thinks that the coupe Si is the only one that people want to see. Why couldn't they unveil the sedan and the coupe together?
This is the only post I could find where a sedan Si was even rendered.
Personally I would never buy a coupe, let alone an Si coupe. No offense to the car itself, but if I'm gonna buy a coupe, why not let it be a Corvette, or an F-Type, or something like that. I immediately fell for the Si sedan because it was a pure sports car with 4 doors, that looked like a Civic. Everything I'd ever need.
I guess it's just been a really long wait...
off topic a little..If I could afford it, I'd love to snag the new Honda NSX..Lol..it sharp...I'd prefer something like a 'Vette as well in regards to 2-door cars, but because of RWD and more potential. For things like Skittles mentioned (insurance, general reliability, etc.), it's great that Civic coupes still exist, since they make a good compromise. With the Scion tC gone, I think the only similar car left is the Kia Forte Koup. Other similar cars are all hatches or sedans.
Which brings me back on topic (somewhat); as slick (IMO) as the Civic coupes are this time around, the sedans are pretty sweet-looking too (you know, for a sedan!), and the extra practicality more-door bodystyles offer is what lets cars like this stay alive at all. Smart move on Honda's part when they started offering the Si in sedan bodystyle.
For the Si's estimated price it's competing with the BRZ/86 and ecoboost Mustang w/ performance Package as well. Grant it they are RWD and bit different market, but people will be cross shopping them if they want "fun i4 coupe". The Si will like my be faster than the 86 but its strength is handling. The Mustang is bigger, but much more power, and with the PP it's no slouch in a corner.I'd prefer something like a 'Vette as well in regards to 2-door cars, but because of RWD and more potential.

Umm... Si... (Sport Injection) Idk but I think some form of sportiness may be implied.are people actually in here comparing a Civic Si coupe to a Corvette or F-Type Jag?...i mean these two cars are not even remotely in the same segment of the market, let alone price range...whether the Si is a coupe or not, they don't belong being compared to each other...
The Si is NOT a sports car...
the Civic Si has always been about sportiness, but it has never, and will never be a sports car...Not even close...For the record, the Corvette isn't eitherUmm... Si... (Sport Injection) Idk but I think some form of sportiness may be implied.
He seems like a good writer, but he's got some weird, old chip embedded into his shoulder that he really needs to let go.Here is a recent article that does a good job of explaining things...

It's not really all that funny...It's just reality...He seems like a good writer, but he's got some weird, old chip embedded into his shoulder that he really needs to let the hell go.
According to that article, Porsche 911 is not a "sports car" but Porsche Boxster is? 1953 Corvette was, but 2016 Corvette isn't? I'm sorry but that's some funny stuff.
