We do, but it's called the Si-R. The Canadian Si sedan and coupe are
similar to the American EX models.

Disappointing that ESP (VSA) is not yet available in the Accord.

Yes, we do, it's called the Si-R. Since it wasn't on the 05 list, I
can only guess that it will be discontinued, or unchanged. It really
isn't selling well in our market.

Why would someone buy an Si-R when they could buy an Acura RSX and get
another 9 ft-lbs of torque (132 vs 141) in addition to all the luxury
features for just a couple grand more?

A cost cutting downgrade? Or do they figure that since hardly
anyone in North America uses turn signals, the yellow turn signals
used in older models aren't of any use?
