2012 Honda Civic Si getting new 2.4L engine with 200 hp

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011

Honda gave us a preview of its 2012 Civic at this year’s Detroit Auto Show, and while the car we saw on stage was technically a “concept,” we expect the production car to look very similar, albeit with more conventional wheels, headlamps, and, you know, an interior.
