CivicsRdBest is a glorious beacon of light

I'm pretty much happy with the current line-up.

I just wish that there was a sporty sedan (like the Ferio). I also want Honda dealers to sell Mugen (or whatever the new company is now) parts for all the vehicles.

my opinion:
drop acura line, no need.

Civic 4 door: same

Civic Coupe: drop, replace with RSX Base

Civic hatch: lower model d17, possible Type R

RSX Base: same price as a EX Civic 15k-6k

RSX -S or R: 17k-21k, higher price for Type R (but not 27k like it probably would be)

Accord 4 dr: get rid of it, replace with TSX

Accord 2 dr: Drop it bring back the LUDE!

Prelude: replaces accord coupe, k24 at least 240 hp 6 speed

TL: love the new one, no change

S2k: No change, hard top is coming so can't add that

TSX: replaces accord

TSX wagon: bring over from Europe.

TSX -S or R: 260hp 6 speed, now thats a sports sedan

NSX: make it worth it, V10 F1 inspired engine, trans. 450-550 hp

Sport utils: Do whatever i don't care

I still would like a type S-zero version or something similar with the RSX. cloth seats, type-S engine, no sunroof, no bose stereo. i'd get that in a heartbeat.

I think the reason why Honda/Acura, Toyota/Lexus, Nissan/Infiniti, etc. is spread apart is because, the lower model cars ruin the image of the higher end.

When you hear ford, some probably think.. oh they're shitty, but Ford comes with high end cars.

Anyways.. just a little babbling

I think the biggest change they need to do is ditch that SI and make the current EX coupe into an SI version with the 160hp. Cause The EX coupe looks really nice and the SI is kinda fugly IMO.

Or just get redesigned. The Si hatch concept itself is great, but this one just wasn't executed well IMO.

Do any of you know why Honda even came up with the Acura name plate? Ill give you a hint, it deals with the economy of the 80s.

^WHY!!!!!!!! we have the si (hatch) already!!!!!! i say no more hatches unless they have something to give like a decent engine. The reason i say this is because if the CRX comes back it will be a econo box (which honda does not need more of) and not a damn performance car. This would just bring more rice into the world.
