Well in my recent MT magazine they had an article about it actually.

Here's a quote,

"First Drive 2003 Honda Civic Type R"

"Face it: the current Si is a disappointment. It stumbles over it's puny 15in rolling stock, and it's engine is not the rev happy zinger we've come to expect from a honda. Fear not: Relief is on it's way, in the form of the near 200horse 146mhp Civic Type R."
