I still think if SH-AWD is put into something like the RSX then Honda will have be able to really get back into the compact market. Because let's face it, the Civic Si is fat. At least a SH-AWD car would have purpose behind its mass (and a good way to control it).
The system is expensive and heavy as hell, maybe it would work in the TSX, but it is way too expensive for a Civic, unless you are ready to go head to head with the Evo and Sti.

The Civic Si is actually a relatively light car for what it is, its no longer a small car, and modern safety and convenience are heavy.
