The 5 grand is not for the Si...that is more around 3-4 grand. Si's can be had for under $17,000.


even then, it's clear that a $20K civic si wont sell and most people will see the MSRP which is $19K + 4K = $23K :doh:

Yeah these packages are too freakin expensive especially when there's no perceived increase in performance. Ooh look, a bunch of aesthetic "upgrades", stiffer shocks and springs and "performance" brake pads. I fail to see how anyone would be excited by this. Honda needs to get a clue.

Does that imply that the "Type-S" moniker is dead?

Type-S is an actual faster car from the factory. A-Spec is a bunch of dealer installed accessories lumped into one package.

Yes and no. Yes that is the way it is now. But Type-S is over as a "model line"...it will be replaced by A-SPEC, which will eventually (2-3 years?) move to handling, aesthetics and performance.
