- Buelldozer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I didn't realize that Digg was a raw advertising site now. The ad's should be up top, not posted as stories.
- longago7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is not a DIGG story, I can not pick out any new technology in this link. This is not the place for car adds, especially ***** ones. I have reported this as spam, I suggest others do also.
- Mongoose, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Wow. That's pretty damn snazzy.
- farfrompuken, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14 cylinder.... import ;-(
*yawn* next please - reeprflame, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2now why did i not post the new mustang, corvette, Ferrari, or other REAL car?
- pdaphreak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Cars are lame. Mass transit pwns. Think about your ecological footprint, noobs.
Oh yeah... get this crap off of digg. Are we going to have a story about every internal-combustion driven machine with questionable design? Hardly the forefront of technology.
Hydrogen power, Peltier AC, etc. = GOOD
New banal models, Hummers, a Civic?! = BAD - Mental, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Much more sporty look, they finally understand that the Civic has been the front man for start up import tuners for years now.
- blog302, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i'm amazed by how many of you nerds dont know how to appreciate cars.
- creamsteryam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0dont insult the civic si about its looks until its in production,
personally i am deciding between this civic si and the 2006 mustang
the 2005 mustang concept was really ugly once it got into production it changed my mind - guzman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Oh God - it's hideous!
At least my wife might stop drooling over the Civic now and gain interest in a real car. - DaWolfman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"160 horsepower? and this is the high performance model? thats pathetic. they could have put the 200hp engine from the rsx in there just as easily."
The SI model WILL have a 200HP engine, it's just the coupe/sedan that are getting the weaker engines (or so I've read). Check www.templeofvtec.net for more info on it.
And just so you know, the rear end is even more ugly:

economy car, not a sports car. WTF - vanlandw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i like it as well....looks promising
- NyQuil, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is old news.
- Xenchi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yes it's still a civic, that's the beauty of it. It's amazing how we as Americans still get led around by our noses by automobile manufactures. What's the use of extravagance (horsepower & torque) when you can't even afford to fill the tank? When gas prices went SUV's were being traded in left and right. I thought people would've learned something. Or better yet, when you complain that your vehicle is under it's 30th recall......yet what do you buy to replace the domestic P.O.S? Another domestic P.O.S.! I know you hate the Civic because kids hop them up, but "souping" up a car is as American as baseball. It's just a shame that the Japanese are the only ones giving our youth an AFFORDABLE & PLAUSIBLE vehicle to have fun with. Bravo Honda!.....keep up the good work! By the way Carroll Shelby agrees with my assessment (via a television interview on the show "Rides"), you may have heard of him...........he invented the Mustang Cobra.
- motionblur, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0LMAO....somebody actually think a Honda Civic is cool?
- thussy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That's a concept, not the actual production. I'm sure it'll have door handles, no carbon hood.
- musicjunkie77, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0looks Great for a concept. Nothing like the 02-05 Si. The stock ones are going to have 197hp to be exact, that's not bad for an economy car.. Guys don't hate it because it gets good mileage. Looks like they took the headlights right off an Acura TSX, i love it though. Hope the production ones will have minor changes from concept one. And yeah it is high performance and probably better than what u are rollin. You guys are cheap don't appreciate cars at all. This car is made for teens and racing enthusiasts. it has a lot of things you could expect on a tuner car standard, not to mention a sick 320 watt system! The biggest piece of *****? You haven't drivin it, i have! i live in Seattle WA and they had an opening debut for it at Safco field i am also a
Honda dealer, so you cant say anything til you've drivin it. This thing is fun to drive! - awwwmang, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1that would be a carbon fiber hood.
- Squaros, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0longago - Todays cars are actually full of new technology; wether it interests you is another story.
Although this is labeled "concept", I believe the actual production model will be very similar. Honda has set the car up like this in an effort to make the car more appealing to the aftermarket performance fans. - Jersey2FL, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I never cared about concepts- show me what you will build. Not, hey look at what we're thinking about doing, but don't have the balls to produce.
- Thrawn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Does nobody see that its clearly label "Concept"?
- eric_n_dfw, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I agree that it does favor the RSX, I like the original RSX's headlamps better than either this or even the latest RSX's though. (FWIW: I have an '02 RSX Type S so I'm a bit biased)
- beelz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Price>?
- jmccorm, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Remember: "If you can find a better car, buy it!"
- RWVolkl158, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I like the current hatchback model a lot more then that new coupe design... Sets it apart from the EX model, which that looks an awful lot like except for the CF hood and a few minor tweaks...
- SmeRndmGy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0its a honda civic. no matter how much money you spend "pimping" it, it will still just be a honda civic. 160 horsepower? and this is the high performance model? thats pathetic. they could have put the 200hp engine from the rsx in there just as easily. this is all marketing hype. if you want a fast car, buy a fast car. if you want a cheap car that wont break down and will last 10+ years, buy a honda civic.
- powerover, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0They say the new 1.8 i-Vtec has 140hp... The old B16 in the Si coupes of the late 90's had more power than that, what gives?
- mcpaige, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Ha ha, so car guys/girls also "Digg" thought only techies did. I'm selling my 2004 Si and getting the 25th Anniversary 2006 Civic Si as soon as it hits the showroom.
- thomas, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0A whole 160-horsepower and 132 lbs-ft of torque. Thats just sad.
- aside, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0hey, wow.. i drive that car now, and it's called a SCION tC!
blatant that ripoff is, in my opinion - EonZ, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0UGLY
- dtang, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Reminds me of the Scion tc
- sgt_pepper, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Why does this being on the front page, seem kind of comercial? or is just me?
- zeroed, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Saw this at this years NYC Auto Show. Nothing too special.
- agent_smith, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0It is still a Civic...and this is a tech website not a car site...I am confused as to the relevance.
- shanmac, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0This is old news.
- Dracos, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Honda... sigh. I'm more interested in the 2008 Corvette SS which will outperform the new Z06.
- kubedawg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0gotta love it. gonna be much better than the cobalt.
- Khaos, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Why are people posting such crap! I saw the car at the last New York Auto Show. This is really old news.
- milhil, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Ricer
- Wiser87, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0"I see a major design flaw. It appears to have no door handles?"
Haha, you're right! I dont like it.. I looks to 'nose-heavy' and that black hood is awful.
------------------------------------
Hahahahaha! I just remembered that a few months ago, I parked in the school parking lot next to a car that really *didn't* have any handles. I spent several minutes walking around the car trying to figure it out. - besouza, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0"its a honda civic. no matter how much money you spend "pimping" it, it will still just be a honda civic."
...duh? - axle_foley00, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0It looks really nice.
- leftfoot, on 10/12/2007, -1/+01.8 liters of Vagina TECHnologies, I can buy a 2 liter bottle of mountain dew, thats pretty sad.
- pixelbud, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I just think its pretty.
- leftfoot, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Rice Alert... Can it fly with that wing?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I can't wait to race your 2008 Corvette SS!!! The more stickers I put on my car the faster I whizz right past you! 1.8 liters of gay gayness. This car is so lame I had to post. I am angry at the fact I'm gonna see some loser try to race me at da track with this sorry excuse for a racer. Great mileage and longevity though. SUCKS!!!
- TurkishSquirrel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Looks pretty neat
- djcoolmax, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0looks like they may have different version for different segments.
