CSX and USDM Civic doesn't share same engine. CSX got K20 engine (output is about 155HP) and while Civic Si got the K20A (output is about 197HP). Technically speaking, these are 2 different engines..............

I agree, that is a very nice interior. As for the rebadging, when it comes to trucks and SUVs, a lot of manufacturers do it. Look at the Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus LX470, Lincoln Navigator and Ford Expedition, VW toureg and Porsche Cayenne, etc. just to name a few.

I dont know about Toureg vs Cayenne, but LX470 is quite a bit more luxorious than Land Cruisers, and so is the Navigator compared to Expedition.

It really truly is. But before this, I thought the Saturn Aura was the best GM interior, period. So now we know GM knows how to design interiors. Let's wait and see if they know how to assemble them.

Agree, in photos the interior looks very very sweet. GM PLEASE put it together nicely...

The interior is really nice. I like the two tone and I think it is even nicer than the one in the Lexus/Toyota. Quality has been getting better, so I think GM will pull it off.

I sat in the new Acadia at the auto show, and the interior is as nice as it appears in the photos... very impressive design, layout and quality of materials. MUCH MUCH better than the Envoy. I was a bit disappointed in the Aura, didn't feel as solid as my Solara nor my Accord... BUT, it is a step in the right direction away from the old L-series. The Saturn Sky was impressive, I like it a lot better than the Solstice and the interior is very attractive as well (although very cramped) For a small 2-seater, it's about the classiest car I can think of for $25k. I wouldn't mind having one as a weekend toy.

I'm still holding out for the next Camaro or Challenger, but didn't see any concepts at the lame Orlando show.
