ALl your favorite cars + new ones.. all RESTYLED

Yup its that time of year/decade again. New car models/restylings are in our midst. This is all taken from todays San Diego Union Tribune's "wheels" section. Ive left out the uninteresting cars/facts.

Acura:

RSX - The RSX is getting a reskinning for the 2004 model year, folowed by a completely new body for 2006.

TSX - Acura will posisition this less-expensive sedan below the TL. Its most likely that the european "R" spec accord will be sold here under the Acura TSX moniker.

CL and TL - AWD will be offered for the 2004 Model year, and while keeping up with BMWs 3 series, it will get a BHP increase to 280.

Honda:

Fit/Jazz - Slightly bigger then the 80s era CRX this sub compact could arrive as early as 2005, honda execs in california are already driving them around town.

Civic - Because of sharp critisism that the civic is not drawing young buyers anymore honda is planning a complete restyling/redesign for the 2006 model year. Expect more performance and more agressive styling in both coupe/sedan and hatchback form.

Accord: Redesigned for 2003 the accord hers a nre i4 base engine that pts out 160 BHP and 161 lb-ft of torque (a factory honda that makes more torque then HP?! -joe) with the optional 3 liter 6 gets 240 BHP and 212 ft lbs. Honda admits to be trying to make the accord seem more like the Passat and Jetta and less like the Camry.

S2000 - The roadster is slater for a complete redesign for the 2005 model year with more agressive styling and more hp.

Stream - Hondas "mini minivan" (i thought that was the ep hatch? -joe) sold in japan for years will be comming to the us market as early as 2004.

Infiniti

G35 - With the demise of the G20 this becomes Infinitis entry level car. The sedan still has a 260 BHP but the coupe slated for november will get a 15 BHP increase.

I35 - The I35 is expected to switch to AWD for the 2004 model year.

M45 - The RWD M45 has the 340 BHP V8 in the Q45, but at a low(er) 40,000 price tag.

FX45 - This sleek sporty hatchback will feature AWD and a 300+ hp V8. The FX45 is slated to debut in spring.

LEXUS:

IS300 - The IS300 is rumored to have a 300+ BHP V8 under the hood by 2006.

Mazda

Miata - The current miata is expected to be completly redesigned for 2005/2006, and is expected to be based on the RX8 platform.

MX Sport Tourer - AWD sport waggon to take on the likes of the Audi Allroad and Subaru OutBack.

Mitsubishi:

Lancer EVO - AWD Turbocharged rally version of the Lancer. It debuts in 2004 with 265 BHP.

Eclipse - Completly redesigned for 2006. It is being co-designed between DaimlerChrysler and Mitsubishi.

Nissan:

AltimAr - The Nissan Altima willo be getting a Hp upgrade and a complete interior restyling for the 2005 model year.

MaximAr - The Nissan Maxima will be getting a complete body restyling as well as upgraded suspension and hp to put further ahead of the Altima.

350Z - A convertable version is slated for Feburary. By 2006 a 300+ Hp version based on the same engine will debut according to Nissan officials.

GT-R - The 4 passenger sport coupe is slater to be released for the 2006 model year. Price tag : est. $60,000

Full size pick-up - Nissan is slated to debut a Full size V8 powered pickup by 2004.

Subaru:

WRX - The high performance "STi" version is slater for a 2004 model year.

Toyota:

Matrix Rally - An AWD version of the 180 BHP 6 spd Toyota Matrix is slated to debut as a 2005 model.

Celica - Lackluster sales is prompting Toyota to redesign the Celica for the 2005 Model year.

Hmm... I wonder what engines they'll use in the new TSX. The only one that has the K20A DC5R engine is the EuroR. Perhaps that will be our Type R in the states? (I bet they'll call it a Type S since it's Acura.) I wonder...

Yeah, but look at the # of young buyers out there on here compared to most of the 7th Gen Civic drivers you see on the street every day? At least I see a lot of... well... old people.

This isn't meant to be a flame, insult, or whatever you wanna call it, but it seems that Joe ALWAYS has something to post. Everything from the most insane mods on cars that we've ever seen, right to the specs on every car we would wanna know about. I'm just curious to know how much of his time is spent on his computer??? Once again, this is NOT a flame, just a question. so Joe, if you get this, enlighten me, please! Thanx.

i agree on the fact that its not attracting that much young buyers
mainly cuz of the fact that swapping cost more for our cars
and there is barely enough aftermarket support cuz of our engines dont produce as much as we like
