Car and Driver released some spy shots of the 2012 Si, and apparently its rumored that there may be a turbo K series. Opinions?

Now they need to put a car body on that chassis and they'd be badass lol

It makes sense to need some sort of forced induction, though I could see them going either way (supercharger or turbo). Either way I'd say this is definitely good news.

I just hope they don't screw up the styling too much and decide they want to reinvest in build quality again.

IF it's a turbo they'll still reign it in so much that it will be a slug stock. only after the tuner market gets ahold of it will it really be competitive. Plus, I hate to say it, the FWD will still limit the car's potential. But, I guess it would be too much to ask for a turbo, AWD, 6 speed Si wouldn't it? lol.

how bout we just yank the drivetrain from a Crosstour and mount it into a 8th gen civic sedan! (with boost of course).
