si sales are increasing

[!@#$%]

went to test drive one today and the place that used to have 6 now has one black ep sitting micely tucked away in the corner of the showroom floor. :( they wouldnt let me test drive the floor one...since they didnt have a demo. dunno why but i at least got to see the 7th gen coupes with the package, all i have to say is for 21K.....uh no. They were still asking sticker on the si, $19,460 (dest.) not paying that much either.

a satin silver si would sure hit the spot right now. but from hearing the financial wars from the parents typing this, it looks like getting one is gonna be on my own.

cliff notes: sales for si are incresing by the day....i predict the cars are going to become more "common" then i thought.

How amny are being made though? like 15000? thats a pretty exclusive number, considering it's for the US.

At least no one can fake a new Si.

[TezGari]

An Si is for the chosen ones...............I heard their not gona make another Si till 2004?

[SpeedRacer]

i sure hope not. That will be cool if they dont make anymore i dont even want the Type R to com here because i cant afford it and it will be more competition for me :) anyways does anyone know for sure if they will make this car in 2003 or not?

[Mr.02BlackSIguY]

i heard that its coming out for 2003 and i think thats it. only two years. they are coming out with a blue color one and getting rid of of the yellow one

[MoodySi]

I hope this car stays exclusive. It's one of the reasons I chose it over the RSX.

So are you guys saying after the 03 model year, there is no more Si coming to US? If so...that will be cool ;-) too bad we don't have those number tag that's come with the car like the NSX does..lol

Not chosen ones, more like test monkeys. If they do discontinue it until 2004 it's because it will take that much time for them to redesign it to compete with other manufacturers. Hell, the Ford Focus SVT is a better car. Yes I said it, the Focus SVT is better than the new Civic SiR. And thats coming from a Honda fan

[SmoothOperator]

Haven't there already been like 3 recalls on the SVT? If so that's pathetic if you ask me.

[broad_st.]

yeah the focus was recalled
most recently because the front suspension would collapse
and the engine would stall at high speeds
sounds like a winner to me

[DynaSpeed]

Also note the cruise control recall. You know, where the cruise control catches on the throttle cable and you go spinning wildly into a fiery mess with the throttle cable stuck open.

[grooveline]

OOh! and the focus wll get you 25mpg on the highway! Definitly better. besides being ugly on the outside, the focus is ugly on the inside. those svt seats are god awful.

Si rule. Svt drool.

Besides, even though Road and Track said that SVT came in first above the Si, its interesting to note that the magaizine is an affiliate of Ford. Badda bing, badda boom.

The only decent product that Ford came close to was the Contour SVT. That was bad.

Found a link to a story on the Ford recall - http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/news/0415...rd_recall.html

Hondafan?? I think not, maybe co*k S*ker yes! How dare you, Honda Si is a special car with certain features that makes it kool. On the track an Si would loose by .5 seconds to a SVT, on the street its a drivers race, plus you have honda's build so itll last longer. So please dont hate on the new si, till youve taken one to 136mph! youll give that car lots of respect. It is nice for everday tihings to,

so Mr. Co...i mean honda fan, your fake.
