nice FG marc

i really dont know what is happening to honda

the competition is going FI, meaning more power, better fuel efficiency, and more potential in terms of power gains from mods

honda has chosen to stick with a larger NA engine that makes only 3hp more from 0.4 L of displacement?! (albeit the torque increase, but this could have been achieved through FI!)

so another 4 years until hondata develops another tuning solution? fucken fail honda...

tofu1413 02-20-2011 11:04 PM

well, rumor already has it that honda is developing a 1.5 turbo motor already...


one thing i'd like the civics to do is shed weight and downsize.. theyre pretty big now.

theyre just as big now as a 95' accord.

Aside from the wheelgap, its not TOO bad IMO. Looks like a baby-Accord from the back. Not something I'd buy, but neither is the 8th Gen coupe. The 8th gen sedan is ok by my books.

Simple reason for the 2.4L motor, they have one ready to go already and going FI will increase cost (and the bottomline) as will a DI motor. Remember when Honda fanboys used to say the replacement for displacement is VTEC? Lol.

Nice catch. Really not feelin' it though, the front end looks like an 8th gen and an Insight decided to have a kid. And still no projectors =[

Energy 03-01-2011 11:06 PM

Some 8thcivic love. I miss her sometimes.

Wow at the automatic transmission shift gate. Way longer throws than the 8th gen civics.

twitchyzero 03-02-2011 12:37 AM

remember how ugly the 8th gen sedans were when the first came out?
So far from the latest pics i think the 9th gen sedan exterior > 8th gen...the 8g sedan just reminds of a chinese bun

busdriverman 03-02-2011 01:07 AM

the front end looks so similar!! and the backend looks as if it inherited the backend of an impreza sedan!

will068 03-02-2011 01:14 AM

The rear reminds me of the Honda City

cheapskate 03-02-2011 05:06 AM

Wow looks pretty good in real life! I want one! :D

joquio 03-02-2011 01:51 PM
