http://www.vtec.net/news/news-item?news_item_id=495409Honda did a nice job on the sedan. Looking good! Quote:
The Civic Si Sedan Concept is making its debut at the 2006 Chicago Auto Show, American Honda Motor Co., Inc., announced today.
The Civic Si Sedan Concept provides strong hints of the styling and performance for a production Civic Si Sedan scheduled to go on sale this fall, marking the first time that "Si" performance has become available in the Civic Sedan. Similar to the recently introduced Civic Si Coupe, the production Civic Si Sedan will serve as another performance leader for the Civic line-up with a 197-horsepower, 16-valve, DOHC i-VTEC engine with an 8,000 rpm redline, mated to a close-ratio, 6-speed manual transmission. Helping to put all that power to the ground is a helical-type, limited slip differential for improved traction and cornering performance.
The Civic Si Sedan Concept features custom 18-inch cast aluminum alloy wheels, 225/40ZR18 high-performance tires, and 4-wheel disc brakes with large cross-drilled brake rotors and 4-piston Brembo calipers.
"The Civic Si Sedan Concept demonstrates how the high-performance attributes of the Civic Si Coupe can be directly applied to the functionality of a sedan," said John Mendel, senior vice president of American Honda.
A production vehicle based on the Civic Si Sedan Concept will go on sale this fall. The 2007 Civic Si Sedan will mark a further evolution of Civic Si's sixth generation alongside the Civic Si Coupe - and will be the first time a Civic Si is available in two body styles. The Civic Si first appeared in 1986 with subsequent Civic Si models appearing in 1989, 1992, 1999 and 2002.
The Civic Si Concept (coupe version) made its debut at the 2005 Chicago Auto Show, preceding the introduction of the all-new 2006 Civic Si, Civic Hybrid, Civic Sedan and Civic Coupe. The Civic Si Coupe and Civic Si Sedan will both complement the Civic lineup with features designed to appeal to true enthusiasts seeking a high level of performance and value.
The all-new 2006 Honda Civic has attracted a high level of acclaim, including Motor Trend magazine's prestigious 2006 Car of the Year award and the 2006 North American Car of the Year award.

Lose the wing and it's ok. Still wouldn't be caught dead in one though.

Looks 4" actually. 
Not bad, but not me. I don't like how a lot of new cars have the "nose-dive" design cues in the front end.

Honda is stupid. How much is this car going to retail for, its gotta go 5-6 grand over MSRP.

Civic Si coupes are going for approx $20K MSRP up to $22K with Nav. Deduct about $1500 from MSRP for Invoice pricing.
I'd expect the Sedan to stay about the same as the Coupe as Honda's pricing does not change for the coupe/sedan variants on the EX models.
As for the dealer rmark-up above MSRP, sure for the first few hundred produced but like all cars, that ends shortly after release.
Car insurance is gonna be the killer on these. As you kknow the insurance company is going to be expect a lot of wrecked cars and thefts will be abnormally high.

Well, it's not quite as heinously ugly as the regular Civic sedan, but the excessive trim and the black hood add another set of bad taste to put it back to the same level of bad.

The sedan is much, much more interesting to me than the coupe. Personally, I'd still prefer a hatch though. And that wing is absolutely assinine and needs to go.
