Test drove a new Civic Si
The four door looked better in the last gen and still carries over to this new generation of Civic. Honda figures the sedans sell more so they make them look more nicer than the coupes. Anyways, I think the 6th gens are looking dated. These new Civics look very American like especially the coupes particularly a Saturn.
i dont really have a problem witht he front end. it honestly doesnt look like a minivan, and who cares if it does?
the problem is people are used to seeing cars look their best with photos taken 3 or 4" off the ground- these cars best looks are now coming from where they should be 5-6' off the ground loking down at them.

Come to find out that what I was experiencing with the throttle-by-wire system is evidently called "throttle hang" and is evidently typical for the TBW systems. It has something to do with anti-smog something...
Whatever it is, I'm not diggin' the TBW anyway at this point.

I was always sceptical of the TBW system. It seems the older "throttle by mechanical wire" is better than the newer "throttle by electrical wire". Anything new on cars usually has bugs in it. More so with the Big 3.

I don't think it's an error, per se. The car is trying to keep you in check by preventing overthrottling. My parents Maxima does the same thing with regards to traction control. In low traction situations, it won't open the throttle very much even if you floor the pedal.
