What the hell is up with 2007-2011 Civic SI resale values?

k20 > k24, is probably the reason why. Though it seems regional, that generation Si seems to be going a bit cheaper in Florida from local craigslist postings, I am still weary of used Hondas due to previous owners unless I have documentation on maintenance.
A honda manual is enough for me to choose one a civic or accord over other competitors from Hyundai or Toyota even if the rest appears or is cheaper than the previous generation. Then again, I dont go correlate car intelligence to car brand

Statistical demographical data would correlate intelligence and/or education levels with a car brand. Just as a generality though.
It was really a joke though statistically speaking...

Why is the K20 better? it has less torque/power, gets same/worse MPG.
K24 makes a far superior daily driver. Which frankly any civic Si is.
Having driven a TSX extensively, which uses essentially the same engine, I find it quite stout and nice sounding. And the TSX is a full 500lbs heavier than the civic...

Slightly older Civics like the 2008 one had Enkei RPF01 is better
and the current civic looks like garbage.

I had an 08 SI and they are selling well because the 2012s weren't well received and the new SIs were hard to come by at first. People like the k20 because of the higher redline than the k24. And as far as the k20 "not getting good gas mileage" I could get 31 highway mpg cruising at 80 which is more than I can say for the GTI. My SI consistantly got better than the epa estimates, my GTI hits the estimates in the city and does worse on the highway. As far as interiors go the GTI has a way better one hands down.

The K20 was one of the reason to buy an Si. The high rev limit and exhaust sound when driving.
Now Honda has basically flipped the same way it has done in the past.. a bigger discplacement motor with a lower rev limit. IMO it is pointless at that point Honda might as well gone the turbo route instead of building a Honda version of the Corolla XRS.

Yea, and they sold the 2008 STIs at 8000 OFF and 0 % for 60 months for a while after they came out. They are worth more than that now
Civic SIs seems to be the same way.
the 8k rpm readline and tunability of it. It pretty much replaced the older B series like B18c1, B18c5, B16, etc that also had the same high revving characteristics, but better low end than the B
