I thought it looked pretty tight. The profile view showed (to my eyes, at least) how well Honda did mimicing the BMW 3-series profile, which isn't a bad thing. I'd give it about 1/2"-1" drop, but that's about it.

Not a bad car, but WHAT IS IT w/ HONDA AND OVERSIZED EXHAUSTS?!?! It looks horrible on the back of that car!

My little brother has a Si and it is sweet. I Would take one. It is not faster than my SVT yet but it probably will be soon. As soon as i can find a scaner i will post picks of our cars. But i would bet that it will beat anybody with a non SVT contour. I dont understand why everything with a honda/acura emblem has to be rice.

In what way does the Contour win? Don't get me wrong. I own a Contour, and I enjoy it from time to time. But discounting the Civic as a piece of crap car is simply asinine.

Thats a nice little Honda. I always thought that bodystyle was the best for the Civic. Maybe a smaller exhuast can, lower it and put some subtle body work on it and it would look tight.
BTW, dosent "rice" denote an excessive lack of taste in a car? Some people on this site make their contours more "ricey" than some very well done civics I have seen.
And I dont think anyone will be calling the new 6spd accord "rice" either.
