The new Si's are sweet. I wish I would have waited to buy one instead of getting a civic coupe. My local Honda dealer just got one in last week and my salesman let me drive it all day saturday. Better than the regular civics, hell they even have more passenger and cargo room than the coupes and the are smaller cars. I think I'll wait to buy an Si though, rumors of them getting the 200HP RSX engine sound pretty good. Still not a bad choice, you can't go wrong with a Honda.
