It's a Honda. They can keep it where it is.

A little bit of that vomit just snuck out....

the "egg" or "fish" shapes we're seeing more of in cars (like the koenigsegg) are more areodynamic. love it or hate it that's where the industry is going.

Besides the aero modifications on the outside to make it "Type R", what's under the hood to complement it?

Looks like a riced out Ford Focus. From what I've read performance isn't any better than the current SI.

The interior is very nice! The outside looks like a jelly bean.

only considering peak power - no, it isn't any better. but those same articles clearly state it has more "usable" power. none of it will really matter until they get one on a track the previous type-r ran on and do a side by side timed comparison.

I had an 02' SI before I got my EVO. It was an ok car, its not comparable to an EVO by any means but I like the new Type-R and SI coupe. I would never buy another Honda unless it were an S2000. The interior of the new Type-R is pure hotness!!!
