Civic Daily Driver?
Anyone have a daily driver? I'm thinking of a hybrid or natural gas powered car for my daily...I know the new Civics have these options and the SI coupe is supercute and sporty so I may try and test drive one this weekend. Here's a pic http://sema.honda.com Anyone drove one yet? Is it fast?

First post, huh?
Is this some new viral marketing thing Honda's doing? "It's brilliant Mr. Takashi, I will pretend to be a female and infiltrate American car enthusiast web forums. I will post links to new Honda products and the sales will skyrocket!"

Natural gas may not be the bargain it used to be. Prices have been going up quite a bit.

Eewwww . . i just looked at that thing.
Who did the styling? I mean if it's going to come from the factory with a black CF-look hood, and a big ol rear wing . . then Im sorry, but that little sculpted tail-pipe is ALL wrong. Repeat after me "COFFEE CAN . . . COFFEE CAN"

It looks like a nice Civic to me compared to all of the previous years. In the side view though, it looks like a Saturn. 1.8L and natural gas? Hmmm, sounds like it will be pretty slow. Good luck with whatever you decide.

If you drive a Honda, are a coffee can exhaust and blue headlights mandatory?
