    I've been thinking about this a lot.

    Will there be another SiR release out in the Market? A car that can go fast with small displacement and practically cheap?

    This was a good move by Honda and critics rated it good back when it was realeased. I know that the game right now is fuel economy but then wouldn't you wish that Honda or any other car maker would make a car like this again?

    I really would wish that this would come true for the reasons:

    1. To depreciate the current SiR. It's still being sold * 350k -400k to think that it was only sold * 700k brand new.
    2. For us to play around with the new one rather than adding unnecessary mods to the older SiR.

    For the gurus out there, do you hear anything from anyone regarding this?

    I think the Honda Civic 2.0S na ang naging kapalit ng SIR.

    I've heard that M/T variants were limited for this and A/T is the only one released right now. Also, it ain't cheap. It's more than a mil afaik.

    I can already forsee the 2.0S M/T (Racing Blue color in particular) will be the next SiR price-wise in the 2nd hand market. Its so rare, I only see one once in a blue moon...

    Yes cars right now are more expensive na than before. Because our money is worth less and less as time goes by because of our central bank....

    In other countries such as Japan, the US, UK, etc there's a Civic Si though not an SiR it follows along the same or similar lineage.

    To depreciate the current SiR? Hardly I think since the current B16A equipped rockets have already become classics in their own right, especially the non-modified ones. And as we all know, true classics come at a price.

    The 700k sticker price was introductory but remember that it quickly escalated to the 998k mark when the demand picked-up in 1998. Overpriced today? Ask how much is the current asking price for a Corolla AE86.

    AE86? The Trueno? As far as I know, Cebu has a lot of them they're selling for like 200k. For a 20+ car, yes it is overpriced.

    Well sana lang maglabas na sila. Gusto ko din kasi ulit makakita ng bagong race car. Hehe. (Also, to depreciate the car so that I could buy one. )

    +1 on this. It is about time that we get a chance at a new toy rocket with the same blast proof engine. I took interest in the stock 2006 Si with 197bhp which does the 60 in under 7 seconds. That's enough neck snapping power for me so imagine you put on additional mods the possibilities are endless!

Will there be another SiR?
