Default Rice or nice....

Ok...here's the deal. I own a 95 Civic and an 03 VW Jetta. So, I browse this forum and VWVortex also. I've found it funny to see, when I started browsing there, that what most of us sane Honda owners consider "rice", a lot of VW owners love and think it looks "euro". I've got one example in particular that I needed to share wiht you all. Here's a thread from VWVortex - http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1092923 .

I think this car is rice, but the owner, and several others on the forum think that its nice. Mind you, the owner seems to think that just because someone owns a Japanese car, it is automatically rice and his handle is "Riceh8ter", which I thought was ironic. So, the big question is....does the Honda/Acura enthusiasts think this car is rice?? Share your opinions.

The clear tails, chrome trim on the fuel door, and the horrid front and rear bumpers are all too much IMO. :down:

I don't use the term "rice", but that sure isn't what I'd call nice....so....there ya have it.

And the twin rear wings.....:nono: on any hatch IMO.

Yeah. I have to say its rice, definately if i saw this on the street somewhere I'd have to take a pic and post it on HAN for all us to laugh at.

BUT. teh "euro" look is pretty much what we would consider ricey. Notice read any MaxBoost and look at the rice in their. Unfortunately when it comes to modding everyday run-of-the-mill cars (i.e. other than BMW's, Mercedes, etc.) in Europe thats the look and they do not consider it to be rice. The more work thats put into a car especially if its not functional, the more respect it gets. The mentality of "euro"peans.

I don't like it, but I don't think its hideious or anything though. Just lose the tails and the spoiler and it'll look a bit better imo.
