My guess would be the is300. Our cars don't really compete with the IS300, A4, or the 3 series.

The 4 door S2000 is the Integra replacement. It is my understanding that ACURA will not produce a 4 Door RSX. Honda needs a car to compete with the VW Jetta 1.8T & VR6 and Infiniti's G20 (the Civic is simply not enough car & the Accord is too big).

Don't forget about the 350HP 4liter V-8 for the RL and the NSX. I wonder where the 3.5L V-6 will go HE HE HEEE.

The Civic SI will continue to compete with the 180 hp Sentra SE-R, The 140 hp MP3, 180 hp Focus SVT, etc.

The Toyota 180hp Matrix is also a serious contender with the Civic Si hatchback.

I think he means sizewise. If we compare by the size of the cars, our cars are about the same with the ES, A6, and 5-series.

I can understand the hardtop, but the 4 doors is kinda strange.
