Is Honda run by exchange students?

So we have the Si (or SiR) with no side sills, a Type-R with sills, the fugly FP ill-fitting side sills, and the '04 with small sills. Does anyone here get the feeling that Honda has NO CLUE what they are doing? Wouldn't it just be cheaper to make one mold? And who the hell changes bolt patterns 3/4 of the way though a model cycle? Ugh...:confused:

It's a cheap and easy way to make a car look different and adds to the aftermarket for the cars, generating even more interesting... sounds like a smart decision to me.

It's all about the money, dude.
