Faithful? with that ugly thing? Not to mention the loss of the 'bones!   No thanks!

Well, since my last comment got lost ....   That thing is ugly. What designer (or team) thought that the Focus and the Echo were worth ripping off?

Ugly? Thy name is WRX. Yet, the WRX drives so well that it's owners care less about its profile than the feel behind the wheel. I suspect that the Civic SI will fall into the same category. Remember, there are only so many ways to design a hatchback.....

At least the WRX has REAL performance ... That SI looks so much like a Focus ...

If you think that looks like an old Civic, I think you either need glasses or you should take another look. That front end is right from a focus. let's see:

hmmmm.... Are those even 2 different cars? I just can't tell. And, how about for comparison, we throw in a 92 Civic (sorry, i don't have a better picture, but I think this one shows enough): I have to apologize, I'm usually not so sarcastic, but sometimes its just plain fun.

Oh, and one more thing, ugly may be subjective, but at least the WRX can be picked out easily from a crowd. Maybe that's not always the best thing (especially when in a line of speeders when blowing past a trooper). But I give the designers credit for thinking outside the box (not to mention I LOVE the WRX for looks AND performance.)

epicurux, qbrozen,   the WRX is still one of ugliest cars on the road. Thanks god it has good performance so it won't hang around long enough to take any stares away from the Aztec. The designers didn't think out of the box, they clearly were recent hires from Hyundai and Kia. You guys only like the looks of the WRX BECAUSE of its performance. I doubt either of you are looking at a 2.5RS just because, "I LOVE the looks." Give your heads a shake.

um.... actually I did want the RS for the looks. Its not like IT has a lot of power. There are many vehicles out there that beat it. The only reason I couldn't get an RS was because my wife was one of those who thought it was ugly.   But, back to the issue at hand. This is the Honda Si board. How did the WRX even get mentioned here? Was it because the argument is being made that the performance of the Si makes up for its ugliness? Now THAT deserves a "head shake".   OK. Maybe ugly is a tad harsh for the Si shown here. How about boring? Is that less offensive? I like the last Si. That was so much better looking, in my opinion. At least I could tell what that is when its coming at me on the road. I'll never spot this one unless I glance at the emblem while blasting past it in my WRX.
