Honda Civic Si Sedan Concept Unveiled at Chicago Auto Show

CHICAGO, U.S.A., February 8, 2006 - American Honda Motor Co., Inc., announced that the Civic Si Sedan Concept is making its debut at the 2006 Chicago Auto Show.



The Civic Si Sedan Concept provides strong hints of the styling and performance for a production Civic Si Sedan scheduled to go on sale this fall, marking the first time that “Si” performance has become available in the Civic Sedan. Similar to the recently introduced Civic Si Coupe, the production Civic Si Sedan will serve as another performance leader for the Civic line-up with a 197-horsepower, 16-valve, DOHC i-VTEC engine with an 8,000 rpm redline, mated to a close-ratio, 6-speed manual transmission. Helping to put all that power to the ground is a helical-type, limited slip differential for improved traction and cornering performance.

The Civic Si Sedan Concept features custom 18-inch cast aluminum alloy wheels, 225/40ZR18 high-performance tires, and 4-wheel disc brakes with large cross-drilled brake rotors and 4-piston Brembo calipers.

“The Civic Si Sedan Concept demonstrates how the high-performance attributes of the Civic Si Coupe can be directly applied to the functionality of a sedan,” said John Mendel, senior vice president of American Honda.

A production vehicle based on the Civic Si Sedan Concept will go on sale this fall. The 2007 Civic Si Sedan will mark a further evolution of Civic Si’s sixth generation alongside the Civic Si Coupe – and will be the first time a Civic Si is available in two body styles. The Civic Si first appeared in 1986 with subsequent Civic Si models appearing in 1989, 1992, 1999 and 2002.

The Civic Si Concept (coupe version) made its debut at the 2005 Chicago Auto Show, preceding the introduction of the all-new 2006 Civic Si, Civic Hybrid, Civic Sedan and Civic Coupe. The Civic Si Coupe and Civic Si Sedan will both complement the Civic lineup with features designed to appeal to true enthusiasts seeking a high level of performance and value.

The all-new 2006 Honda Civic has attracted a high level of acclaim, including Motor Trend magazine’s prestigious 2006 Car of the Year award and the 2006 North American Car of the Year award.

On a side note. The introduction of the Civic Si Sedan opens the door for New Mugen Products like the 300 hp "Dominator" Civic sedan displayed at the 2006 Auto Salon

The ass end on the dominator looks like the p.o.s. 89 Chevy Beretta I had and don't want to relive. Front rocks!

Sedan: sacrilege
Lets keep its effectiveness: 2 doors and keep the weight down.

I almost bought a 2door SI.

The sedan is only 60lbs heavier than the coupe. I could lose 60lbs and make up that difference It also has increased chassis rigidity ...
