I sell Hondas and have about half a page of people who want to be called when a 5th, 6th, or 7th gen used Civic shows up on the lot. Lots of folks looking for GSRs too. The CRX (1988-1991) is slowly becoming a collector car. I predict the Integra Type R will be too. With the safety regulations, and reinforced crash structures on new cars we probably wont see anything as light and nimble as the 5th gen Civic/CRX, or with anything with low cowls as the 6th and 7th gen Civics unless you go for an exotic like the Lotus Elise. |

| Here is hoping that the new Civics and their derivatives such as the Element and CR-V have tilt and telescoping steering wheels. Makes my Accord 2003 a joy for a tall guy like me! | |

But in line with artist renderings of the next Civic. All I've heard if the Ex will have a 140 HP engine, up 10%, while increasing economy. DrFill |

Replying to: blueiedgod (Nov 17, 2004 4:19 am) If the US version is going to be the same as Europe and Asia, then the sedan may look similar in front. I'd like to see a diesel for 2007 so you can have hybrid MPG without the cost and complexity. Maybe around 50MPG highway even with automatic. |

The current Si/Type R have a very aggressive stance, with good headroom front and back. With the very sloping hatch in the new version, the rear headroom will be less than the current RSX, and the weight distribution will be more forward biased. IMHO.

Replying to: carlisimo (Oct 21, 2004 2:16 am) Unfortunately, the new Civic will be improved at Honda's glacial pace - adding features (telescoping wheel, retained accessory power) that have been on offer by the competiton for several years now. High school parking lots now have written off the current gen. Civic and are more interested in Mazdas, Subarus and Fords (Focus). The Civic is slowly becoming "your father's Civic".

Replying to: blueiedgod (Nov 18, 2004 4:24 am) I've always wondered what kind of styling people like us could come up with before judging stylists (who, BTW, have to not only think style, but practicality and other engineering requirements as well). Most of the times I feel we simply refuse to accept change, or continue to lug on to something that we like.
