Honda US still plans on selling it here into 2005. I thought 2004 was the last year for those poor selling Si/SiRs. Many ppl I know think they are pricey, ugly, and look like minivans. I can see why its not selling well

Its being dropped in Canada because of exchange rates, possible, but there is more to it than exchange rates, some of it might be based on poor sales there too. I goto Toronto a lot and I rarely see any new SiR hatches on the streets.

Indeed, they are very rare here. There isn't room for both the SiR and base RSX in this small market. I wonder if a 4-door K20 engined car would have fared better in this market, versus the Mazda3 and Matrix / Corolla XRS.

I think there's more to it than the exchange rate. The US dollar is falling whereas the Cdn $ is increasing in strength.
