i heard somewhere 07 si sedan??

true or not

if so i want one for the wife

random_hero · 09-28-2006, 12:50 AM

Absolutely true!

jeffie7 · 09-28-2006, 01:21 AM

Honda = FWD = less drive train power loss = better MPG = better daily driver = not ment to be a sports car = welcome to honda.

Thankfully honda is dipping its hand into AWD now.

RL and RDX for da win!

too bad the RDX is a cross between a MDX and a civic. it has a cool look to it (mdx side) but feels so friggin cheap. (hello civic)
plus for the size the power isnt really there.

The insides look nice but it's made out of shit plastic and such. IMO it should have been a honda not an Acura.

Silverchild79 · 09-28-2006, 01:21 PM

Have you sat in one yet? they look sweet, but they sure do feel cheap. I do believe HONDA should be on the car not Acura.

Celerity · 09-29-2006, 10:48 AM

The SUV died when Toyota made the 4Runner a hardtop 4door, and the Pathfinder dropped it's 2-door models. Nuff said.

Cute Utes died when Isuzu gave up trying to get the Amigo get better than 12 miles per gallon. I can't figure that shit out - How the 4 door (The Honda Passport) gets better mileage than the 2 door.

Also, Ford Explorers should get melted down and turned back into the Anchors that were melted down to make Ford Explorers. It's a better use of steel.
