I have to admit the front of the new Civic is pretty cool..but the back UGLY!
The tC overall has more style to it. It's more classy meets sporty at the same time. The civic....just feels cheap, and way overpriced i am sure. I will admit i was going to get a civic until i sat in it, i wasnt happy at all, the new ones..i am still not happy with it...to me it's a honda and it feels cheap, Toyota feels more put together.
I would rather live with the rattles then live with a honda.

The Honda K24 i-vtec engine has a similar peak torque and probably a flatter torque curve that the toyota 2.4L.
For their given displacement, a Honda VTEC motor actually has a relatively high torque/liter spec in my opinion.

Ack, those pics sucks. A bunch of glossy crap. Any photographer, combined with a Photoshop artist, combined with a webmaster can make a car look good. I wanna see that same car in the broad daylight sitting in K Mart parking lot, I gaurantee it won't look that same as in those pics.
You sure you didn't put a link up for the new Accord 2-door?

honda has become so bouring in their design, they are just so vanilla. at one time they really did have the right stuff, but now everyone and their grandmothers (literally) drive them. honda's are good cars no doubt, but no matter how you slice it, they will never look as great as a tc. you loose dude.

Wow you guys are acting like he slapped your mothers! Geesh... If it wasnt for the whole "Civic scene" the tuner world would not be what it is today. I like the new SI, just under 200HP, 6 speed, 4 wheel disc brakes, and an LSD tranny... All with Hondas reliablity, its a good car. Its not like the Tc is the most original car itself as some seem to think. Its a camry with a new face. Period. Im not dissin on the Tc, but dont act like it is superior to the Si. Civics have been around much much longer, and have helped pave the way for cars like the TC. I am selling my box and may consider the SI myself. So I say good choice and have fun.

The nice thing about bland is that it is easier to personalize.
Also, since Honda seems to be a "rice" thing it'll be easier to be accepted within the Honda community with a few mods. Here, one spoiler or wing will have the townsfolk yelling "WITCH! WITCH!" and then pre- .. Oh I mean, yelling "RICE RICE."
The Honda is probably going to be more mod friendly I'm sure, while still staying CARBeriific. Who loses?
I prefer the tC anyways.

Not sure hows thats a whopper. If you cant afford the extra 20-25 cents/gallon for the premium fuel, then you probably wouldn't buy an Si in the first place.
BTW the TC with 23/30 mpg on 87 octane isnt really that impressive either.
