It's not gonna happen. They just won't do it, unless Civic sales totally collapse or Honda goes bankrupt or whatever. Type-R's are goodies Honda keeps overseas. The only reason we even got the ITR was because the Integra had been around for so long they needed to spruce up the model a little longer before RSX debuted.

It'd be nice to see, for the Si is sort of a lame duck. The Si package would seem more appropriate of a sports package on a standard issue Hatchback version (although we have a 160HP engine too, the gearing combined with the weight of the car makes it no so quick).

As far as suspension, "The suspension components have been tuned to provide sharper handling and increased stability, and Honda says the Si features the same suspension tuning used for the Civic Type-R." - Edmunds.com

We've had a few threads on this...I don't know what to believe any more. I'm about 50/50 on this issue, for reasons I've expressed in the past...but I sure hope they'll bring it.

RSX-R I would say the chances are good it reaches our shores...as for the Civic-R I am with Chris...about 50/50. For each reason I have to bring it I also have one not to.
