What does "Si", "Dx", and "Hf" stand for? Do they stand for anything at all?

Please no guesses...

[blu84rex]

If i remember right the "HF" stands for "High Fuel"

[Airgazm86]

I think Si means "Sport Injected" or "Sports Injected".

I would also like to know what "DX" represents.

[bobdragster]

Sources? I dont trust anyone.


I think people just make these things up to satisfy themselves... I mean.. come on, someone told me "Si" stands for "Sexual Intercourse".

The DX was the unbadged standard model.

The Si is the natural progression from the earlier S models. As Honda began introducing fuel injection in their lineup they used the "i" to differentiate the models; hence the Si, LXi, etc.

Yes, my 3G hatch is a Std. model. No radio, speakers, rear wiper, clock, passenger mirror, cig. lighter, tilt wheel, unpainted bumpers, 4-speed tranny, etc.

[lilneedle]

mine too...

[lxndr]

Si = sunroof included

[pvbcrx]

I've always thought Si stood for "Sports Injection" (although lxndr's idea is cool); here's one citation (scroll down):

Honda at SEMA 2005

At least for '86 CRXs, there was only "CRX HF", "CRX", and "CRX Si" - I still have my Honda brochure from twenty years ago. It doesn't 'splain anything about what HF specifically stands for, aside from crowing about its great gas mileage.

I reckon the "i" in the new Civic Si is kinda superfluous, since all Civics are now fuel injected.

[3GCVC]

i think LX stands for luxury...

[3gencivic]

depends on where you are to what your badge got you too.

in canada our bages were
std,dx,1500S,si
later cars got the lx,cx,ex,se,

but from what i know
