Honda Is Pausing Civic Si ProductionFred SmithThe Honda Civic Si is a throwback, complete with a manual transmission and a 200 hp engine that brings a little bit of performance to the iconic compact at a reasonable price. It has been a staple in Honda's American lineup for years, but it is about to go on a brief hiatus.According to a document shared on Reddit on Wednesday, both the Civic Si and the Acura Integra A-Spec are pausing production after the 2026 model year. The posting claims that the model is a victim of EPA regulations for the 2027 model year, leaving production of the enthusiast-focused models stalled out.Honda confirmed the news in a statement to Road & Track on Thursday, citing "evolving business conditions" as the cause of the changeover. "Importantly," the statement continues, "Honda and Acura currently plan for both trims to return to the lineup, and American Honda expects to share more details at the appropriate time. Based on current forecasts, American Honda expects dealer inventory to remain available into early 2027."AdvertisementAdvertisementIt is unclear when exactly production will resume, but the combination of a stockpile and the claim that the brand plans to return both models to the American lineup suggests that this pause may not necessarily impact the flow of manual mid-level Civics and Integras in and out of American showrooms for all that long. Hopefully, Honda enthusiasts looking to get their hands on a manual Civic more affordable than the relatively pricey Type R will not have to wait all that much longer for production to resume.You Might Also LikeIf You Can Only Own One Car, Make It One of TheseThese Are the Most Popular Cars by State
