Details on the upcoming changes to the Civic have been slow to come, but there is speculation of a new hybrid powertrain that will be more fuel-efficient than today's IMA system.
As for the Civic Si, there's more power on tap and sharp new looks. Looking very much like the concept that we've seen at the Chicago Auto Show, Honda had stayed true to its concept styling with only a few minor production changes (including door handles and a huge exhaust tip). The Si will be powered by a 200-horsepower VTEC engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission and should be in dealerships in the fourth quarter of this year. -Chris Doane for Brenda Priddy & Company<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
