The current generation Civic Si will be dropped however come back full force as a Coupe once again.* Expect more aggressive styling and upgraded engine performance to draw in buyers who felt the current Si was a little too conservative in both aspects.

Last but not least, what about the CRX resurrection?* Honda fans everywhere have been begging the return of the car but will they be able to line up in 2006 to purchase one?* We were told there might be a surprise car for fall 2006 but nothing more than that.* If indeed true, expect the secret to be guarded even better than the 2005 Odyssey.
