That sports model should fare well versus the Mazda 3 SP.

However this might affect the 2.0L Integra Luxury's sales.

Nah, it won't affect the Integra. 2 door vs 4 door. Enough market differentiation there. I just hope that the Civic Sport has the option of sports fabric and sports leather seats. Just like how the SP23 has an optional leather pack. You know what's the funny thing? Honda did it again. 115kW from a 2.0L compared to SP23's 115kW from 2.3L! LOL, even with the low end i-VTEC on only the intake cam!

thats because there is no other car company that can compare to how honda R & D thier motors to be the best compared to other car........in so many words they do more with less.....s2000 best example and so is the NSX beats ferrari's and its half the engine 206kw compared to 260kw +...................GO Honda!
