Ya when Honda said 6th gen Hatchback is the last hatchback ever I was all hype and happy that I got mine.

And until they came out with EP3, that's when I knew I was fucked....

Today seems like a nice day, I am gonna wash my car.

Yes, that is my car. Next to it is an ugly neon green and purple Neon on one side and an red sunfire/cavalier on the otherside! I got my honda to get me to college, not to be a nice fancy car. Once I am out of college with more money I plan on getting one to look nice and be a nice ride. Until then.. Stock Ho!


I do need to wash my car. It was parked under a tree last week and the berry things have come down and stuck all over my car.. Ah well.

How could I? I don't live in Toronto. I live in the Simcoe area, north of T.o

I've never actually driven to Toronto, and I have not been there for years.

If the club has a meet north of Toronto someday maybe I'll come down if I have time.



Btw, that silver type R looks alright. Im not a fan of the rims on the black one though.

It may be a concept drawing and a photoshopped insight, but it looks nice.. Why do people say they aren't gonna release it?

cuz it's not gonna sell... do you have $30Gs for a 2 seater Civic?

Most of the ppl asking for this car can't afford a new car, they are just dreamers (not saying you or ROBM3 are... I'm just saying that 2 ppl who may actually buy this car isn't enough to tool an entire plant for the production of a car that may or may not sell)

I'm not a huge fan of the SiR's styling, but I do have to admit that the styling has grown on me a little bit due to the many body kits that have come out for it. Stock, I think that it doesn't look very nice (reminds me too much of the POS Ford Focus, looks too high, etc.) but throw on a kit on it and it looks pretty good!

Most people nowadays can't afford new cars anyways. ie. the youth lifestyle that are beings targeted towards with cars cars such as the Element, Matrix, Civic Mainly because people those people are just getting out of school and having debts to pay off.
Esp. When getting a new car on the road may cost 26-30k after taxes for an economy car (Civic) and most people start off only making $30,000/yr its a tough sell. IMO its better to move out then buy a new car, but anyways...

IF the new CRX did become reality(and I hope it does) I think Honda should follow the example set by Toyota with new Echo/Vitz hatchback. Sell it for cheap with nothing and then have most of the options dealer installed.
Although if they do have a top model (CRX SiR anyone?) with a K-series motor, I won't complain...

^^^ True, if you want a decent job with good pay nowadays, you'll be in school till you are 27-30 for sure. I suppose it pays off at the end tho... after you get your *** out of debt.

I am slowing crawling out of my OSAP debt... but anyway....

Sometimes I question myself "is it worth it to put that much money on a Civic?"

I still can't answer that question... LOL

True that man, true that! I too absolutely hated the 6th gen civics when they first came out ... however after a year or so I actually bought one.

As for the 7th gen SiR I think it looks and drives awesome. Personally I think it looks better than the RSX. What do you guys think?

Think of it as a $40,000 discount off a Porsche turbo... just as capable, just as quick if built right... way cheaper Then all the money doesn't seem like a waste.

Well Dust, with more and more 300 hp civics popping up that can outcorner M3s, Porsches, and other such vehicles... it makes you question... why not?

Ya, it's a Civic, ya... the insurance is cheap... and ya, I'll kick you *** it in. Problem is, the road to 300 hp is fraught with waiting, researching, learning, doing, saving, and in some cases finding a reliable and timely shop to trust with your ride. In my case, Payn Tech will be doing the tuning on my car... but everything else will be done with my own two hands in my parents back yard. From design, build and install of the turbo/electronics, to... all the susp work that's gone into it. Luckily, I truly believe I'll have a car that will be more reliable and quicker and more unique than the SRT-4 and the WRX. It won't be as cost effective cuz I started with a brand new car, but I could have started with a 4-5 year old car and built it all for $10-12K less than what it's cost me. However, speading the cost of modding over 5 or more years makes it not seem as bad
