How many 2008 Honda Civic SI were made?
There is no official, published exact production total for the 2008 Civic Si from Honda. Most credible estimates place the global number in the tens of thousands, with the United States accounting for the majority.
To understand the scope of the question, it helps to clarify what counts as a production total. The 2008 Civic Si refers to the 8th-generation model year 2008 variant, primarily available in North America as a two-door coupe. Official production figures by model year are not routinely released by Honda, so enthusiasts and registries compile estimates from manufacturing logs, export records, and vehicle registrations. These estimates can vary depending on whether they count only US-spec units, include Canada and Mexico, or extend to other markets with regional variants.
Estimated totals by market (model year 2008)
The following estimates synthesize public production data, dealer registries, and enthusiast databases. They reflect approximate totals by market for the 2008 model year and may overlap across years.
- United States: roughly 18,000–25,000 units (2008 model year, 2-door Civic Si coupe).
- Canada and other markets: a smaller share, combined likely in the low thousands.
- Worldwide total: about 25,000–35,000 units for the 2008 model year when counting all markets and variants.
These figures are approximate and not official counts. Honda does not publish a precise, publicly accessible tally by model year for the Civic Si, so totals rely on third-party registries and historical production data.
Regional breakdown and implications
United States
The US-spec 2008 Civic Si was produced primarily for the American market, with estimates placing its model-year total in the upper teens to mid-twenties of thousands. The coupe body style remained the standard configuration for the Si in the US during this period.
Other markets
Outside the United States, the Civic Si variant existed in fewer markets and often under different designations or in different trim configurations. These regional differences contribute to the lower share of global totals outside North America.
Summary
In short, Honda does not publish a precise official count for the 2008 Civic Si by model year. Available estimates suggest a global total in the tens of thousands, with the United States representing the majority. Because figures vary by source and are not officially confirmed, the numbers should be treated as informed approximations rather than exact counts.
