Hopefully they will not go to the 2.0. 1.8 should be plenty and will be lighter and more efficient. The 1.8 had 140 hp in the Integra 13 years ago. That is plenty of hp for the vast majority of Civics.

The RSX can live on and take the S2000's engine, and use the Si's 200HP as a base model.
 
Ha ha ha, that is really funny. I doubt that anyone, not even Honda would install an F-series engine in place of the K-series. For once, the F- series is longitudinally mounted, while Civic/RSX have transversely monuted K-series engines. The notion of engine swaps in the previous years involved B-series engines, which had similar engine mounts and dimentions.
 
Secondly, you would not want the F20 in the "heavy" RSX/Civic.
 
I agree that 140 hp is plenty for majority of Civic's. You don't want to have every high school kid, and retiree playing with the 200 hp an auto tranny. Look at Camaro/Mustang drivers, you don't want to have the same happen to Civic drivers.

They need to add more to the DX or drop it. How many people buy a Civic DX? At least add Air Conditioning and a CD player. Make the DX like what my Value Package is now, price it at $13,500, and it'll be fine. The LX should have a CD Changer, Sunroof and whatever its got now. The EX should add a Shiftronic automatic, standard leather seats, a CD Changer/MP3 player and very stylish alloy wheels.
 
Just my opinion...

I would like to see one item taken off of the EX - the sunroof. Takes away too much head room and makes the car undriveable for some of us. They can make an EX with and without the sunroof. Just like they make the EX Accord with and without leather.

unless you are paying in the "luxury" segment, leather seats should NEVER be standard. not everyone likes burning thier legs in the summer on them.

I was thinking Honda would probably make the leather models a seperate trim line- like EX-L.

it's not a matter of horsepower but of torque. the civic's weight is getting up there and the 2.0l would be more suitable for today's market. of course this is my speculation but it would make sense to just use the 2.0l through out the civic line.
