Come on now, we all know 4 cylinder motoring works best with a manual!
Especially with the AC on. That's what hooked me on Honda, smooth I4 mated
to nice shifting gearbox. I personally hope they don't 'dilute' the Si any
more with an auto trans. The coupe is still selling like hotcakes with +$
market adjustments and I bet every manual sedan gets sold without much
negotiation from the dealer.

you need to try a modern automatic. the electronic control algorithm on
the modern civics is actually pretty sweet. mechanically efficient too.
all they need is the paddle shift and a couple of extra ratios to
progress from "sweet" to "hot". every f1 car, for the last decade+ has
had this kind of "diluted" transmission. porsche & ferrari offer them
as standard. [i think everyone has heard of porsche's "tiptronic" trade
name - and i can tell you they're /awesome/ to drive.] it's time for
honda to catch up.
