Honda showed this at SEMA? Ugh, I'd be so stocked if Mugen came to the USA thru Honda dealers.

Eh, I still think it is ugly, but that wing does improve things marginally.

I actually it look alot better than the Si right now. Less of an egg and more like a hatch. What's the perf. spec on this car?

Now that's the performance that the Si needs to be kicking some butts considering the segment just got alot more competitive in term of performance coming from SE-R SpecV, SVT Focus, MSP, Neon SR-T4, and I also read that the new Lancer OZ will get a 170-175HP engine to match the look. I'm not sure if this is true as well but I heard Toyota is considering putting the GT-S engine into the Corolla. All this mean that every car in this segment has at least 170HP. The Si is the only one w/ 160HP.

The SI does have a beautiful torque curve, but I agree. If the SI had 200 hp people would shut up and buy it.
