the 1.6-liter 16-valve DOHC VTEC 4-cylinder engine producing , stiffer suspension as well as larger front disc brakes and larger 14-inch tires. The S and Si models were available with either 5-speed manual transmission or 4-speed automatic while the del Sol VTEC model was only available with a 5-speed manual transmission. In 1994, dual air bags would become standard. Beginning in 1995, the car would be marketed as the Honda del Sol (Civic being removed from the name). In 1996, the del Sol would receive a minor interior and exterior styling refresh and the S model would get a 1.6-liter SOHC 4-cylinder engine replacing the 1.5-liter engine that came in the 93-95 models. 1997 would be the final year of production for the del Sol in North America. Colors The 1993-1994 U.S. Domestic Market Del Sol came in five colors, namely Captiva Blue Pearl (color code B62P), Frost White (code NH538), Granada Black Pearl (code NH503P), Milano Red (code R81), and Samba Green Pearl (code GY15P). For 1995, Honda replaced Captiva Blue Pearl and Samba Green Pearl with Isle Green Pearl (code G71P) and Paradise Blue-Green Pearl (code BG33P), and made Frost White available on the Si. For 1996-1997, Honda removed the Paradise Blue-Green Pearl color, replaced Isle Green Pearl with Cypress Green Pearl (code G82P), and added Vogue Silver Metallic (NH583M). TransTop Most del Sols came equipped with a aluminum roof that could be manually removed and stowed onto a hinged frame in the trunk where it only took up of trunk space. An option available in Japan and Europe was the TransTop, an electric mechanism which retracted the targa top into the trunk via a push of a button. The roof is operated by flicking two catches above the windows, then holding down a button. The trunk lid raises vertically and two arms extend into the targa top. After locking the lid to the arms, the arms pull the targa into the trunk lid, which lowers back down with the roof inside. The open process is reversed for the closure and return of the targa top.
