Re:New 2006 Civic Si concept Chicago autoshow
The way things work the wing might go away, which is good, but also the big rims and the brembos. Unless they say production I won't buy it. It's still a prototype. But it's a mix between the new accord and the tsx and the new acura lineup really

"The 2006 Civic Si Coupe will be the most powerful, fastest and fun-to-drive Si we've ever put on the street, and the Civic Si Concept set the direction in terms of its styling, package and performance," said John Mendel, senior vice president of American Honda.

What ever happened to light cars? They don't make em like the used to

Re:New 2006 Civic Si concept Chicago autoshow
blah, i want to like it but those brakes wont come on the car. the wheels will be an option at best and the curb weight is gonna make it feel like a slug.
unfortunately the days of 2000lbs cars are done i think.
id give one a test drive for sure.
im curious to see what else they have to downgrade on the car to hit an acceptable price point. they cant have it optioned like that with the rsx-s.
