Nice, I'm so tempted to pick up a new Si.

Those K20's have to be the best 4cyl engine ever made, and Type-R's have always handled far better than a FWD car rightly should.

But, this is just another example of a great car that will never see our shores. Unless Arithmetic is right, which would be great, and we will get this car. However everything I've read about it has led me to believe it wont end up here.

Here's hoping though!

it very nice and will handle good but of course it still going to be very very slow. and its fwd so any time you throw boost at it it will just have traction problems
the only way an all motor small displacement 4 cilinder engine (no matter how good or efficent it is) is going to be fast if it was but it a light sub 2200 pound car.

Kinda remind me of the RSX. Anyways, I wonder if this car will come or not. I kinda want a white GT3 for weekends and a type R civic for winters and these high gas prices
