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?

it grows on you... at first I was wondering about it too.. but I've gotten used to it.. and it's very comfortable... sure some people will say you can't 'rest' you hand or wrist on the shifter...... but why do that anyways??

Damn I wish I can find a review that a canadian automotive magazine did for the 92-95 (EG) civic hatches when that came out.

Just to sum it all up, the car was slammed for being different and having an "egg" like look to it and how it was such a poorly designed car.
Now its one of the popular of the last couple of generation civics to have come out.
Just give it a little time to warm up to this "mini-van" look, it really isn't bad at all. If the powers to be at the insurance comapnies would help me out a little bit (Those bastards!!) I would be driving one right now ..... EP HATCH OWNS!!!

At school I was able to find an old review of the CRX when the 2nd gen 1st came out back in '88. Considering I was only 6 at the time and had no interest in cars back then it was a nice find.
I also found one for the Del Sol (when they previewed it in late '92) I think the magazine was Car & Driver, but they weren't too fond of it.
I'm curious as well as to what they (magazines) said about the EG Civics back in the day.

I was at the Honda dealership tonight and was checking out the new EP3 with the GFX skirt package and carbon fibre coverings.

What a sharp looking car, it's to bad I couldn't afford the car payments and insurance payments.
