Honda is currently on a roll. Not that long ago they released the new generation Civic while only last month, the brand new Type R was released. Well, it is now for its less powerful sibling, the upcoming 2017 Honda Civic Si. The car has been confirmed to be released at the Los Angeles Auto Show next month, and it should go on sale shortly after that. Just like with its more powerful sibling, the Si is going to be based on Honda’s new modular architecture. This means a more rigid body that will offer the drive more control over the car. However, there will be quite a few more differences between the two than just the engine.
A unique car in its class?
The Si is going to compete with cars like the Golf GTI or Focus ST. However, unlike any of those, the Si is going to be sold, at least for starters, as a coupe. Later down the road, the car is also expected to hit the market as a hatchback and even as a sedan. In any case, the price will likely stay around $25,000 for a base model which is also where most of its direct rivals are. So far the only information we have is on the coupe which has been spied testing in numerous occasions.
