Civic Nation Commercials
I hate that crap. It makes me ashamed to tell people that I have a civic. I think that Honda is capitalizing on the "tuner" image without actually giving that market what they want. It seems that the new civics have the same bad suspensions as the 7th gens, are much harder to work on (harder to lower, put a stereo in, etc) than previous generations, and the car is getting more power, but not really faster b/c they are getting so heavy. Makes me want a 6th gen or a teg shell (evertime I see a GSR I wish that i'd picked up one of those)

i like the gsr but you can break into one of those and drive it off in about 2 minutes lol, just like the em1. i got the em2 cause its cheap and you cant really steal it as easily as you can the b-class rides.

hmmmmm...thanks for correcting me...for some reason i thought a gsr was made by mitsubishi...my bad...

wow ok. i liked the commercial. thats just me. why? cause it looks fun. the whole commercial was a bunch of people in cali showing off their rides. who don't want to show off their ride? no one. there are a few reasons people mod cars.
1. hobby- makes them happy.
2. makes other jealous.
get it? i would be in another commercial like that in a heartbeat. why? cause i love my car, and you guys are complaining for what reason? the suspension is bad? no, its not "bad" its just different from previous gens. imo its better and beefier than previous gens.
to say the GSR is built by mitsu is hilarious. but its all good. and i don't agree with our cars being harder to work on. any car is not an easy task. we should all be happy for all the aftermarket support we have so we can make choices we want for our car. again, i love that commercial. i wish my car was in it. even tho its not heavily modded, its still fun.

i like the commercials--its good marketing
dont get me wrong--i do agree that some of the commercials are kinda gay but that kinda stuff attracts certain people to buy their cars

IC thanks for the info ajhdragon...

And what's wrong with Honda trying to give in to the tuner image?
Heck, haven't you even noticed how your speedo goes up to 250mph???
I don't even care about that. Why? Cuz I know my car won't give me any problems when I go over the 200,000 mile mark (which I will pretty easily!!! Car doesn't have two years and has 39,000 miles (with a 7 month break... I can dig 30,000 miles per year and am going to use this car til it dies over the 200,000 mark).
