The Ridgeline won the Compact Truck contest in Car & Driver this month
(beating out the Chevy Colorado, Dodge Dakota, Nissan Frontier, and Toyota Tacoma)




I know its trucks and most people don't care, the point is Honda won...
-and with their 1st crack at a pickup

The Si doesnt get released til december or so thats why.

Everything I hear about the new civic is good, the styling however i think will grow on people.

I've driven one... AMAZING... Like... Honda couldn't have nailed it better. The only thing that i could think of to make it the "ultimate" would be a supercharger.

 

[brian11to1]

the new si is hands down the best as of yet. imo.

 

[phunky.buddha]

to both wins!

They won because most magazines hang from Honda's nuts.

the RSX type S also got the best sport car under $25k
against the Chevrolet Cobalt SS Supercharged, Dodge SRT4 ACR, Saturn Ion Red Line, Subaru Impreza WRX
http://www.caranddriver.com/article.asp?se...article_id=9845

horse shit!! every car there out performed it

the worst 0-to-60 time (6.4 seconds), the slowest quarter-mile time (14.9 seconds), the skimpiest back seat, and the most lackluster autocross lap.

but it won????????????

auto magazines are just bunjee jumping from hondas nuts

 

[asmallsol]

what I love is the cars that have won car of the year in the past and went on to be complete fuck up cars including ...

2002 Ford Thunderbird
2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser
1981 Chrysler K-cars, Dodge Aries/Plymouth Reliant
1980 Chevrolet Citation
1978 Chrysler, Dodge Omni/Plymouth Horizon
1976 Chrysler, Dodge Aspen/Plymouth Volare
1975 Chevrolet Monza 2+2 V-8
1974 Ford Mustang II
1971 Chevrolet Vega

 

[Celerity]

Yeah, good point. I think the last time I agreed with them was in 1982 with the Supra.

 

[hosmer]

the Cobalt SS and Saturn Ion are most definatly NOT better than an RSX-S...

 

[Celerity]

I didn't mind the Cobalt, a friend of mine got one. I wouldn't own it, but I wouldn't own the RSX either.

My brother has an 06' RSX-S. Definitely a sweet car. It's incredibly tight feeling and has plenty of power. The only downfall I think to the car is it doesn't really shove you back in your seat. The torque still really isn't there, for daily driving that is.
