can anyone say "G35 ripoff"?

and i love this quote:

"Honda had stayed true to its concept styling with only a few minor production changes (including door handles and a huge exhaust tip)."

i'm not sure, but i think most of the huge exhaust tips on Civics aren't factory installed.

and i love the way you read it wrong.

its comparing it to the concept that they had, saying that it got a bigger exhaust tip than the concept car had. not comparing it to civics of the past.

and i think it looks pretty good, the front needs some work though.

G35 Rip off with a thick bumper

Rear spoiler for added downforce... you know, because fwd needs all the rear traction it can get :roll: .
Just another dumb POS for parents to buy their daughters after graduation. I'd get an Audi or VW before a Civic.

i read it right. i was making a joke based on the words in the sentence. The whole paragraph talks about the Civic Si concept that will be coming later this year.

the joke was the mention of "huge exhaust tip", since every ricer with a Civic has one.

any drive type needs downforce on the rear at higher speeds to keep it planted to the road...im not sure how fast this civic can go, but id probably say at least 100+, youd probably notice a difference with/without the spoiler at those speeds.

Is it just me or do the front wheels look like they are like 4" bigger than the rears.

[jims69camaro]

the wheels/tires are the same size. some kind of optical illusion or something.

just another way to send those american dollars over to japan. keep up the good work!

I thought stickers make Civics go fast.

50 horsepower, yo! and that's per sticker!

Your both wrong... the gangster tilt makes a civic go fast.

Don't believe that. If they wanted downforce it wouldn't have that shape... their reasoning is purely cosmetic. The only function it MIGHT serve is to keep the dust from collecting on the back of the car.
Also, at 100+ mph in a civic I wouldn't notice a difference.... I'd still be in awe that it was able to get triple digits! :D
