Yeha, WTF is up with all these "new" cars looking like the focus. I hate the focus! honda needs to rethink where their market is at. This car weighs roughly 2700 lbs!Put a B16a in one of our light 4th gens and watch it run circles around this POS. I hate the new civics. PERIOD!

yeah that is what i don't get? they sell the hell out of the 99 00 si, then they stop making them. they would sell the hell out of the type-R, but they don't make them here. then they go to this little front big back end car and say here you go, well i say d P~~~~~~~~~~~ on it.

Yea, but lets be a little more fair and swap the 2002 civic engine with one from a wreaked RSX type-S and tranny(6-speed) There! Even! But yea, I don't think I like them, but they may be growing on me?

ok ok, but these hatchbacks shown are civic Si's. They already have the i-vtec with 160hp and constant variable valve timing. If you were to use the type-s engine, that would be 200hp and no longer a compotition. I still stand by that a 4th gen civic with a B16a will beat a brand new civic Si, both have 160hp, but the 4Gs have a hell of a lot less weight for a hatch. The B16a also does not have the advantage of the new i-vtec system. The B16a v-tec kicks in later compared to v-tec being constant on the i-vtec engine. The i-vtec also has a .2 liter difference. Does anyone else think that the standard i-vtec engine should be pushing a little more power? i do anyway, just some tech jibberish for ya'll. If anyone has any descrepensies with what i've said, please correct me!
