Displacing 2.3 liters and delivering 240 hp, the turbocharged four-cylinder introduced in the Acura RDX would turn the Si into a legitimate Type R. We've been told the engine will fit with nothing more than new motor mounts and a relocated intercooler. Add a little extra rubber up front to get the power down and Honda would have a Type R worthy of its badges. And with the RSX out of the picture there's room for Honda to add a few grand to the Civic's price without pushing into Acura territory. With that kind of power on tap, its odd styling would be the last thing on our minds.

i doubt this statement, 'If we had a choice we would rather have something more like the 2008 Honda Civic Type R, the European equivalent of our Civic Si. '

for the first time in many generations, the coupe actually looks better than the hatch...

even if the euro-hatch is in canada, i still prefer the coupe much better...

That is quite an interesting thing to do. I never thought the Acura Rdx engine would be useful in another vehicle. I'm really impressed by this, collaborating some parts to increase more power into the Si. Great work!
