I think modified magazine needs another writer.

My opinion about the car is pretty much like anyone else's without the exclaimation points at the end.

It's nice of honda to revise the front and rear of the Civic for 2004. BUT SOMEONE ANSWER THIS FOR ME. WHY DOESN'T HONDA PUT THE 160hp SI MOTOR IN THE COUPE LIKE THEY DID FOR THE PREVIOUS GENERATION CIVIC COUPE. I have no problem with honda putting the motor SI Hatchback. But wouldn't honda be better served if they put the motor in the Civic Coupe/sedan Also??????????????????? Honda could make a killin this option Any thoughts on this? Cosmetic changes will get the Civic only so far if the engine hasn't changed. It's not like honda would need to do some market research study to put the SI engine in the coupe. And the conversion for honda should be a no brainer. I saw an SI hatchback at the dealer the other day and All the differences from the coupe that I noticed are this. The Hatchback has 5 lugs vs the coupe's 4, The hatch also has 4 wheel disk brakes vs the coupe's front disk rear drum setup, and of course the most obvious thing is the engine. All honda needs to do is the reach into their parts bin and put those parts on the Civic Coupe. To me it's a no brainer. Think about it........ Honda sells us the Acura TSX here in the states when in the rest of the world it's called the Accord Euro R. http://www.clubtsx.com/gallery/cate...cat_id=6&page=3
http://www.rsportscars.com/eng/cars/accord_euro-r.asp

Any thoughts????????
