Type R emblems on Si, ALL WRONG or nice touch?

I believe the canadian Si comes with a red badge and is called an SiR, so i suppose its a grey area ?

canada had the SiR trim up till 2005, so it was two generations ago. 2006 started the 8th gen civic, and 2012 started the 9th.

So that's why when I ordered an Si Polo shirt for work online it had "SiR" on it...

2012 had some pretty harsh initial reviews from automotive critics, so they immediately started a redesign for the 13 sedan, and then a redesign for the 14 coupe, and I guess the rest is history. A number of models have followed 5yr cycles, so they just pushed out the 10th gen earlier than expected.

You have a 9th gen? Where did you get your steering wheel badge at?

I don't remember honestly, but probably procivic.com.

the earlier iteration of the 9th gen was heralded as one of the most boring cars from an exterior design standpoint, so they did a rush refresh for 2015 before rushing the 10th gen out the door ASAP to try and salvage the market share going to the new Camry's and Corolla.

So sad.
