I just saw the new Civic SI..UGLY. That thing looks like an inbred focus or something. It makes 160hp and 132lb torque.
Yuk, I can't wait to see one on the highway so I can put it to the test. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':sly:'>

It seems to be worse than the old Civic SI in almost every way, yet more expensive. The Civic Type R will be better when it finally gets here, but that will probably be even more expensive. So basically I think Honda is going to loose its its status as the most modified import, because they arent going to have the appeal of the old cars.
Everybody is makeing shitty looking cars now <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'>
The civic's never looked good, but now they just look awful. Acura made the RSX <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/eh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':eh:'> Nissan is strikeing out with everything its makeing...ACK! Frickin turbo that 3.5L!!! A lot of others started sucking a few years ago...the eclipse turned into a bitch car. Mustangs got a worse looking body and a smaller engine. There are others I can't remember now...IMO the whole industry is going to shit <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cry.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':cry:'>

It kinda sucks. I'm hoping somebody comes out with something great in the next few years so I can get my new car then <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
This new SI is FUGLY though. I can't believe it. I wonder how it will handle and what it's 0-60 will be?

looks like we'll all have to just whoop all the new cars w/ our "out dated" 240's and show the car manufacturers where to stick it <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'>

i hate that car. it looks like a geo metro, and i hate the adds in the car magazines. it shows a civic si driving away in a parking lot full of cars with "their doors blown off" and a guy is standing there, staring in awe.

the car is FUGLY!!
I say what my friend does about Mustangs
"Civics are like tampons---Every pussys' got one"
if people like their civics so much they wouldn't have
a contest to see who can make it not look like one.
people will start to realize that civics are for old women
and fat cows
CIVICS ARE ONLY GOOD FOR LAUGHS WHEN YOU KILL ONE
i am not normally like this but damn i hate that car

..I thought it was a 2dr minivan the first time I saw it <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/lookaround.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':look:'> ....
..anyways, they upped the displacement .4L, produced 20% more torque, and it's actually slower than the earlier SI...

The CTR looks gay too. Like a minivan and its still slow for what its equipped with.

I had a 5th gen Si and love the concept of a hot hatch! I was very sad to see the 6th gen get a fat-tail b/c hatch is always to way to go in the "bang for your buck" category.
Grassroots Motorsports found it was too soft and under-tired, but it still put up a decent autox time (about 1.3 seconds slower that the SE-R Spec V). Value wise, at $19K for the Si, I'd take the Sentra for $17K and start adding from there. Power wise, the Si is a bit shy of the SE-R and the SE-R offers way more basic upgrades. Of course, if you are really looking for bang for the buck, get a Neon ACR - it beat the SE-R by 1.5 seconds and the Si by almost 3!!
Still, there is something that calls me to a hatchback... maybe that I can haul stuff like a pick up, but still dance around an autox course w/ the best of them. Not the car for me, but a nice step up from the fat tail Si's of 2000.

I would take the SE-R Spec V over the Neon and the Civic. The Civic is so fugly and pretty slow, 1.5 seconds is a LONG time on the auto-x. The Neon is a neon..no matter how fast.
I really like the Spec V and was actually going to buy one until I saw a 95 s14 <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':love:'>. It was love a first sight. And second sight, and third sight... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':love:'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':love:'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':love:'>
