Still no Si's...

NeoMagus · 02-26-2002

you'd think they'd at least have been unloaded to prepare for prepping for Honda's release date of Feb 28th. Thought I would at least be able to get pics I could use for my review.

Nada. Went and talked to both of my insiders at the two Honda dealers where I live, and no word, no sign of the new Si.

What are you doing Honda? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

I was jsut at the honda dealer in my town and they said they dont get any untill mid april and they only get one and its already taken too.

mwwhonda Thanks

I wonder why Honda sent out all the emails saying Feb 28th and even on civicsi.honda.com if all the dealers are saying april....

gee whiz 2003 Civics will be on the road before this things released.

neo...be patient..its only the 26th...and besides...some dealerships aren't even getting the allotted 1 si till april

College Hills Honda has 1 coming...and the second doesn't come till april

im thinking if they only get one...it won't even be available for a test drive

NeoMagus · 02-26-2002

um yea, 2 days. If you read I said I assumed it would be in Prep, not ready to sell yet, as I was hoping to scope it out before the public did, however both of my contacts said they'd call me as soon as they have one come off the truck.

It dosn't bother me to wait, im just going up to test drive and post a review - I'll take my 6th gen over this hatch anyday.

Since you're already so biased towards the 99-00 Si's without having yet driven the new one, how much of a neutral review of the 02 Si are you planning to write? (looks aside, of course... )

And also, if your Si is already modded up, there's no way that 02 Si tester will match the HP that you're used to having in yours, so there's another negative on the new Si from your point of view.

NeoMagus · 02-26-2002

I bought my Si stock, so I know how it performed before it was modded.

Trust me it will be perfectly unbiased, whenever the car is decided to be released.

newkid · 02-26-2002

just heard this today...

not confirmed or anything...but...the delay may be due to the work being done on the gearboxes of the Si's

much like the s2000s and the rsx-s...a problem with a grind going from 1st to 2nd gear is being worked on...

i guess we'll know for sure on the 28th

I have talked to three dealers here in Tampa and now they're telling me May or June. I'm gonna start demanding my deposit back (put $1000 dep. down in Jan.)

Snowman · 02-26-2002

Wow that's kinda late, I figure they would have been in the dealerships by now. Well I can't wait to start seeing them on the road.
