With the introduction of the first generation Civic Si, Honda launched a legacy that served as the catalyst for a growing aftermarket hot-rodding industry that today offers countless performance and styling upgrades at a reasonable cost. For speed junkies, the appeal of the Honda Civic Si has always been the cheap price of admission and the ability to style the car with aftermarket add-ons. In some regions of the country, it seems no two Civics look the same.
Sadly, the appeal of the current Civic Si hatchback has waned and today's youth have turned to such cars as the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and Subaru WRX STi to satisfy their need for speed. Honda hopes to restore the Civic's credentials with a sleek, totally redesigned, 200-horsepower Si Coupe for 2006.
Honda needed an aggressive new design for the new 2006 Civic to rejuvenate sales and based on the debut of the Honda Civic Si Concept, the company pulled it off. The new design incorporates a sweeping roofline; an ultra-fast windshield rake; a long rear deck; and a wider, lower stance. All of these design features give the Civic Si that go-fast look even when it's sitting still.
