Agree it may sound like a fart can like a lot of modified 4 cyls with aftermarket exhausts. Tho that never stopped them from making it or Civic owners of generations past from installing them. :)
Black on black can look good too, like it does here. I find that black wheels look better in person compared to photos since you can see more detail in person.
I agree those wheels are too busy but I think my issue is more with the busy design than the contrasting colors. There are plenty of black/silver wheels that look great. I'm hoping for better options on the coupe.
Really good catch. We're staying one step ahead of them! :) I do wish we'd see a 5 door Si but it was a long shot to begin with and there's already soo many models and configurations to choose from.
Yup, the VW Golf won it last year so it doesn't have to be anything exotic or even close to it. I think the Civic or the Mirai will win it this year. Civic for obvious reasons (just read the reviews heh). And Mirai for reason HondaGeek said - out of this list the Mirai represents the biggest...
The other guys already brought up stiffness but another factor is height difference between coupe and sedans.
If the coupe is lower, it will have a lower center of gravity which will technically allow it to corner with less roll and shift its weight easier when turning back and forth.
The bumpers on the concept were always just concept in nature. Nobody expects even the Si to have bumpers that aggressive. The Si will probably have enlarged and sportier versions of the standard model bumper, something like these...
Never thought I'd like a purplish color so much but they went with the right level of darkness. Any lighter and it really would have looked like a big eggplant.
Thx for your impressions so far everyone. Doesn't sound like a single member who's seen, felt or driven the car has been anything...
Profile and wheels of this car is really attractive except for the side trunk cutline that goes upwards as it hits the windshield. Goes against all the horizontal lines of the side.
