What up guys? I went to the chicago auto show this weekend and saw the new civic si's. I was very disappointed. I thought they looked very ugly. Maybe i'll get used to them but i doubt it. I'm not really a big fan of hatchbacks. And i don't know about the shifter being where it is. Kind of like where the radio is located. I think that may get tiring.

I was talking to a guy there though that works there he was telling me that they could run low 14's to high 13's stock. I'm not too sure about that. I think he just trying to convince me to get one because he overheard me talking about the RSX and how i want one and he works at a honda dealer.

Whatever, just my opinion!

you want to get the RSX or RSX Type S, if you want to go faster, then you can also think about WRX .... i think the price is just similar as RSX Type S

oh yeah, definately the type s. I dont really like the wrx. I mean i know it's fast and at all but i don't like how it looks. Also i didnt hear good things about the engine. I heard it'll die out after a while or something big goes wrong with it after like 10000 miles.

I love the looks that the rsx type-s has got and its pretty fast.

I think that the new civic looks like a mini van and I personally hate mini vans. Is it just me or did anybody else notice that the RSX type S felt like the body flexed in the corners and it just didn't feel solid at all to me. just my two cents

Re: They are sick looking....

I wonder what designers at Honda have been smoking, snorting, or shooting up the last few years. First of all, they stopped manufacturing the Prelude. Secondly, they redesign the CR-V and make it look like sh*t, and now the Civic looks like something that came straight outta my ass. Atleast they kept the Accord looking half decent, well atleast in my eyes.

That;s right men!!

they should be able to run low 15s depending on the driver.

I wouldn't buy a subaru or a mitsubishi if my life depended on it. The WRX is ASS UGLY!!!!!! I mean shit...its a POS as well. go drive one...yea its fast in 1-2nd gear but the tranny is sloppy, doors weigh a 1lb...look feel cheap. paint looks cheap. everything is plastic and they do a good job of letting you know its plastic. The mitsubishi is just SHIT!!!!! I had a japanese race clip with a bunch of the top japanese sports cars in it...the evo dropped out cause it blew its NEW tranny.
