The limited-production vehicle (maximum of 1,000 units for the 2008 model year) will have a retail price of less than $30,000 when it goes on sale and include a full factory warranty.

So equal to £15k or there abouts. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Living here is such a f**kin rip-off.

The FD2 Type R is a far betting looking motor than that...

 

[Hatton]

Ooooh, I like that

 

[Jermal]

Looks alright, but not as nice as the FD2 IMO. What the hell does "SI" stand for anyway? Bit ghey don't you think?

Oh and to all those smart arses out there, I'm sure it doesn't stand for "Système International"

I think SI is the equivalent to Type R, or thereabouts in the states, not 100% sure though.

Well why not call it a Type R then? Would they get confused with the word "Type"?

HTF should I know? Just down to different branding for different markets probably.

Surely "Civic Supersize" would have worked better with the septics

 

[Hatton]

"Sports injection"

Gotta feeling the Si is not as tuned as the Type R's, not 100% on that, but sure i read it in some USA Jap Tuner mags. Think it has something to do with Handling and Interior also.
