Wait till Acura lives up once again to overpromising by having the base trim be the NA 2.0L in the Civic and the "performance" trim is the Si's 205hp 1.5T. The only diff with the Civic will be a LSD.

I only partly kid. Even with the newer models coming out they are still an unserious performance or luxury brand - a class bottom turbo V6, no performance trims for the RDX, the sad sack ILX, the barely a Type S NSX.

With all the money they're spending on "bespoke" chassis' for the RDX, TLX, and MDX (and NSX) you'd think they'd be better off just doing one flexible platform for the RDX, TLX, ILX etc.
