    That is probably going to be my next car when the tacoma is paid off. I'm keeping the tacoma for pulling the boat & truck duties. I will get a car for gas mileage. And by the time it is paid off my Son will be 16, & it will be his car. So when I purchase the next one I told him he gets to help pick it out & not just get a hand me down.

    Nice! I will consider that. My Son wanted for his 16th birthday my Sister's spare car, A 1988 IROC-Z Camaro Conv mint condition with only 54,000 miles on it. I told him to keep dreaming!

    The civic Si is pretty nice too:

    But man it sure is fun to drive, it will bark all through the gears. It originally was my brother's car he sold it to her. He put a superchip in it & changed the exhaust for better performance . I had fun driving it the week of the 4th of July. I couldn't afford to drive it as a commute car, running premium & probably getting 11 mpg.

    Thats identicle to my SE-R. Except mine was black. :cool:

    The Civic SI are cool. The electronic speedo annoyed me though. I also did not like the powerband. In a flat out race my SE-R would pull on an SI until 90 and then the SIs top end+VTEC would eat me. Very good looking.

    As you can tell, I like import cars. Especially sub $20K cars with 200HP that only weigh 3000lbs.

    On a side note. I would not recommend you buy an new SE-R. I sold mine (a 2007) with 800 miles because it was problematic, sadly. The '08s are much better from what I have heard though.

    Driving one is great. Roomy (I'm 6"3 and 260lbs), and plenty of torque. I have not drove another car in that price range that was nearly as enjoyable.

    Is it me or do they kind of look like a Ford Fusion? Fusions almost look like the took the front end of a Nissan and the tail end of a late 90's accord.

    I drove both the TC and XB (new one) and I liked the XB the best. I felt cramped in the TC and the XB had tons of room in it.

    Those are actually pretty cool....I saw them in person at the OC Auto Show...
    Its basically a wagon with a Camry front end(at least that's what it looks like to me)
    The one in the pic that you posted looks good!

    I can almost guarantee that my next car is going to be a sporty station wagon.

    I saw one of those :drool: The way they did the exhaust tips was even impressive.
