civic man, they only offer the new SI in 4 colors. black, white, yellow and tan or something i dunno. as for the electron blue, many dealers have said that is a signature Si color, but it was only on the 99-00 Si. BUT, its offered for the 2001 prelude. so they still have that color paint. just ask a honda dealer for it. i think it sucks that they dont offer for the 2k2 si, but whaddya gonna do

Rep Power: 0 Not a big fan of the si, the engine is tight but the body? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG]
I only hope that the RSX-R makes it over here, now that would be a nice car to test drive.

Rep Power: 0 The only thing I like about it is the shifter placement. I don't really like fords, but the SVT Focus is much better looking(check it out in the new Sport Compact Car). Civic Si=Minivan [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 Has anyone sat in one of those cars yet? I'm curious as to how it feels to shift with the shifter up there. wouldn't your arm get tired? Maybe i'm just imagining that its higher than i thought.

As for Focus killer Im going to laugh when the new SVT blows the doors off that minivan
I thought Id never find the day Id ever say that on any Honda.

Rep Power: 0 well, i dont really dig the looks of them, but i know that if i got my hands on one in the junk yard, id scrap out the seats, the rear axle/disks, and if i could find a way to mount it, id take the engine too!!!!

Rep Power: 0 Believe it or not, these Si's are heavier than the EX's....... by about 130 lbs. Iit weighs in at a relatively hefty 2744 lbs, which is heavier than most other hatches in its class. Edmunds review says that this is because of all the extra rigidity they put into this new hatchback body.

Rep Power: 0 Wow this seems heated. Some people can't wait to get their hands on one while others hate them with a passion. Focus on the positive: nice engine, nice seats, unique placement of shifter. If only that car could lose 700 lbs. It would fly down the road.

Rep Power: 0 << those things are ugly....why don't they make a civic coupe/sedan Si or type-R for North America??
grrr >>
I bet we all would've liked to see an Si or Type-R coupe instead of the hatchback. But I think they saved that spot in the market for the RSX, and hopefully the new ITR if it ever leaves Japan, although both are a bit more $$'s. I hope some guy at Honda upgrades the D17 block to DOHC and I-VTec instead of VTEC-E. I would be happy going from 120-125 to 150-155 BHP.

Rep Power: 0 Well we were sorta spoiled with the Si Coupe, Honda took too long releasing another Si Hatchback.
It made a mistake, hopefully it wont make any more. And we all know once the K series motor goes down in price the swap is gonna be hella common.

Rep Power: 0 Hey, if you sit INSIDE one, you won't have to look at its ugliness on the OUTSIDE [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
I don't know why Honda doesn't put the CTR kit on it. That hatch actually looks pretty decent.

Supply and demand. If Honda is seriously going to ony have one per dealership, which I highly doubt, they will charge up the a$$ for them. I dont wanna compare this to the PT Cruiser, remember how people wanted those when they came out. Damn it Honda listen to the people who buy your cars, Make an Si coupe. I would for buy one of those if they made, and I think a lot of people would.
