When Will the 2004 Si's Be Available?

[spydur]

Has anyone seen when the 2004 Si's will be available at the dealerships?

I'm seriously considering the purchase of a new Si. The challange is, will it be a 2003 or a 2004? I like the 5 bolt lugs, 16" wheels, along with the suspension and steering improvements. But, are these improvements worth the difference in cost of a left over 2003 as compared to the cost of a 2004? It looks like a 2003 can be had for approximately $15,500 as compared to probably $17,500 to $18,000 for a 2004.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Suspension and Steering Refinements:

This is an expept on the Euro Civic 2004 Refinements:

"Extensive fine-tuning of the toe control link MacPherson strut / reactive link double wishbone suspension and EPS power steering system for both 3 and 5 door models endow the 2004 Civic with much crisper handling.

All models gain stiffer steering and suspension mounting points, a new variable ratio steering rack, increased steering caster angle

well our cars already have eps, and yeah maybe we will get some toe control whatnot. but then again once you lower it i am sure whatever they do would be affected. and then the sound shit will just make the car heavier i would think, so maybe maybe maybe wait if you have nothing better to do with that extra 2000+/- and only if you are gonna keep the car stock...otherwise get one for 15000

Test drive them both and go from there. If you can tell the difference, then I would say get the '04. The suspension upgrades could very well be worth it...

No such thing as brand new 02s. By the time the 04 comes out, the probability of finding an 03 is slim if any at all. We had 3 silver 03 EPs on monday. Today is thursday and we have one left.
