^ Ditto.
Who cares if it comes with the appropriate engine, when the design is just socially unacceptable.
And it's not just me either. There's something wrong with its design when 90% of the media bash on the design.

For some reason I'm being labeled a troll because I posted a wish for Honda to sell their 2.2 diesel in the USA, and to also sell a 5-door hatch version of the Civic.
I'm asking Costoco to clarify why he are labeling me a troll. Any help is appreciated.
Do you have any clarifications fsttyms1? Is Costco correct. If I wish to see Honda selling those products, I'm just trolling at AcuraZine.

I'll say it once, and only once. Go back an re-read the discussion you and I had on page 65 and 66 which led to you calling me a troll. Then read the definition of a troll. I'll led that one slide BTW. In your defense, I don't see you as troll either. But your not being labelled a troll because your Honda product wish list. Again, read the thread to see why.
Now lets get this back on topic.....

I never said it was at the bottom. I was simply rebutting your post that no one matches the Si.
IMO, its closer to the bottom to than it the top. At least as far as the interior and styling (sedan) go.

SI is the best NA sub 25k sports vehicle. I like the new styling and my only complaint is the terrible wheel gap. But that seems to be a problem with most vehicles.
a quick drop, rims, and tint...the car will be a diff machine.

Why do you think it's the best under $25k?
And is there any other NA sport vehicle under $25k??
I'm not bashing it, I'm just curious as to why you think it's the best.

Because you are very similar to SSFTSX and VTEC Ricer.... your ideals, hopes and dreams of Honda are too out of this world. There's nothing trollish about wanting a certain model/drivetrain in the US. It's just plain to see that it will never happen, and continued insistence on it is just hope-mongering. Meanwhile, in threads of non-Honda Motor Company cars, you on them with your ludicrous comments. You're entitled to your own opinion of course, but I think freedom of speech goes too far sometimes.
Not to mention you argued semantics with and called a mega mod "a smartass troll"
and THIS looks "promising"?
so what do you think about this?

In any case, I would take an MX-5 over a Civic Si anyday. Then there's the 300 horsepower, 30 mpg freeway 2012 V6 Mustang. And if you don't stop at just NA cars, there's the MS3, GTI, Genesis Coupe and WRX (which barely breaches the $25k barrier). I'd have a hard time choosing the Si over any of those, though you can't say it's not different.
I'm beating a dead horse here.

Which brings me to my point. The versatility, reliability, sportiness, non-beige-ness (as your other sub 25k vehicles), is what to me makes the Civic Si such a great vehicle over the competition. As long as you stick to Natural Aspiration.
If you go with forced induction, mazdaspeed3 is the most ridiculous deal on wheels. It's only withdrawal is the lower highway mpg.
Refer to above, I still like the MS3 better than the Si, but if I chose NA over FI, I would take the Si. ps...i'm still working on finding a low mileage ms6 so I can join the brotherhood.

Which is why I said NA. MX-5 couldn't haul more than two people which limits its versatility.

As for the highway mpg, I got 29-30mpg average for a full tank when I went to palm springs last year. I was averaging 65-70mph. It's not too bad. But I'm a person who doesn't really care about fuel economy as long as it puts a smile on my face.

I agree, the highway mileage is only to satisfy the wife...

You went to Palm springs and you only average 65mph? i think it is time for you to trade in for a Mazda 3 instead of MS3..
#2665
Interior is definitely an improvement over the USDM Civic.

@ amazing trunk space.
I'll tally this as Honda going 0-3 on the new civic designs.
However at least this one does not look exactly like the previous generation...but then again the wedgy design is an "acquired taste".

That trunk space looks promising.
But really, this Euro one looks pretty meh. I personally like the last gen one better than this.

i really like it. you can almost feel the youthfulness of it through the pics, if you get what I'm saying. it's a lot more well thought out than the US Civic, the interior is just so much better looking. even though it retains the shape and overall design of the outgoing Euro Civic hatchback, they made an attempt to revise it - in other words, it doesn't look exactly like the old one, a la US Civic.

Just noticed that the Euro Civic has projector style head lamps. HIDs?

+1, the overall interior design is really fresh. Overall I like this better than any of the Civic's competition, I just wonder why the USDM didn't use this for the interior? I understand the hatchback being a European mainstay but this interior is great esspecually after watching the video.
