I'm not terribly in love with what I've seen for the new G35 designs, and I'm not sure I'll be looking in the upper 30's for a new car anyways. It'll either be 20's or 50-60's - something that is fun and cheap to tide me over or something that is fun and exorbitantly expensive (BMW 650, anyone?).

That said, I have to say that I *REALLY* like the look of the new Honda Civic, particularly the Coupe. I've never been a big Honda fan, although I seriously considered a fully-loaded '04 Honda Accord 6MT before I bought the G35. I've looked (online, nothing in person - I'm not buying right now) and am fairly impressed with the Honda Civic SI, although it's a bit overpriced.

Am I nuts for thinking that the new Civic is a nice looking car? I seriously think that Honda has *finally* figured out how to make a car look good and still be stylish in the long-term unlike, say, the Lexus IS300 that I think was best put as "tragically hip".

I'm a long ways from any serious consideration, but can always look.

Kal.

i like it better than the previous gen SI.....

i love the new design...especially the interior. SI has always been fun to drive

I love it! Of course I am biased because my previous 2 cars were both Honda Civic SIs. A four banger putting out almost 200hp! DAYUM. If I could afford it I would have the G for the weekends and the new SI as my daily driver.

I think the new Civics are incredible and have definitely thought about them...but I'm going to stick with the '07 G and the GT-R...

I really like the new Civic Si. It's tight. I haven't seen any pic of th 07 G35 where can I take a peek?

But it looks good for a Honda...

It's bit bland and doesn't evoke any strong like or dislike.

You make good money, buy the GT-R.

i think the best SI's were the model in 98-00. they've been trying to make the SI's look like mini-vans ever since

Hexxum001 · 01-14-2006, 01:57 AM

I agree smoke, the 99-00 SI was the best! Mine was a 2000. The new SI is pretty tight though. And it pumps out 200hp! That's awesome for a 4 banger!
