Mattel issued
the first Honda Civic Si in 2000. The scale of this 2 door coupe
is about 1:51. Since then, it has come in various colors and
wheels. This casting comes with a race interior - complete with race
harnesses in the front seats and a roll cage. In most cases, the tampoed
graphics and decals are quite detailed for a HW of this class.

Interestingly, Mattel had a separate casting of the Honda Civic Coupe
in a similar scale - however, the bottom plate and rear end are clearly
different. The one pictured here is a promotional item that came
as part of a McDonald's Happy Meal package.

In 2005, Hot Wheels released this variation in half black (left half)
and half gold (right half) with a Hot Wheels logo on the hood. The
interior is white. This version came only in a 5 pack with other cars.
In 2006, Hot Wheel's Eggsclusive series included a metallic maroon
Civic with a Bunny graphic on the side. Blue tinted windows and blue
CS5S wheels also differentiate it from other variations to date.
