What's wrong with comparing the EX with the SpecV? According the Base MSRP, EX Sedan is $17,010 and the SpecV is $17,199. The Civic Si (Type R in Canada) base price is $19,000. This is american currency. Lets make you happy and compare the SpecV w/ the Si which is $2k more, the SpecV has 175HP and 180lb of tq, while the Si has 160HP and 132lb of tq. SpecV has 6spd manual while the Si has 5spd. SpecV has HLSD, Si doesn't have LSD. Honda claim the new Si is just as fast as the old ones, which are mid 15sec car, while the SpecV is low 15 sec car. Not mension the HLSD and tq, which gives it a much better advantage around the track. Name one thing on the Si (Type R) that's better than the SpecV? Even the price isn't better.

NOW, you can shut up.
