*buzzer* sorry car dealers don't know crap. He may as well say they're putting an NSX engine in it and adding I/H/E. If they don't sell good, all they're going to do is stop making this particular model. I talked to a Nissan dealer once about getting an S14 240sx and he just about had no isea what I was talking about.

The New SI is just plain sorry. That was just bad design. I'd rather have a '00 SI with 200,000mi than a brand new 03 SI.

Well in my recent MT magazine they had an article about it actually.

Here's a quote,

"First Drive 2003 Honda Civic Type R"

"Face it: the current Si is a disappointment. It stumbles over it's puny 15in rolling stock, and it's engine is not the rev happy zinger we've come to expect from a honda. Fear not: Relief is on it's way, in the form of the near 200horse 146mhp Civic Type R."

Price range: 18-20K (est)

On sale- Fall 2003 as 2004 model (est)

146? thats it??? ive had my car faster

and i HIGHLY doubt it'll be $18-20k......the current Si's are going for almost $18k and the "Type-R" badging warrants an extra $4k ATLEAST

Yeah i think they will have the "market adjusment" no doubt. I was just quoting the magazine. I think most the people going to buy this will be the parents of HS kids, at least this way they won't have to go down to pep boys for their "Type R" Stickers .
