those aren't chromed-out like the altezza/is300. in fact, they're very similar to the older integra tails, with the exception of the larger circles that protrude from the general casing outline.
I agree with Geoff...The tailight design resembles more of the previous generation Integra than anything else. However, it does still have a touch of IS300 (slightly clear and round circles) and some BMW
(the lower round edges, which is also present in the front headlamps of the BMW 3er).
Is it me or does it seem like Honda is trying to copy the design of the skyline? Look at the tail light of this new integra and the overall body shape of the current Prelude. Why can't Honda design another S2000 looking car? THat is pretty original and good looking.
if this is it, i actually *kind of* like it! it look spretty aggressive, and heck, who cares if everyone bites offe ach other, it's bound to happen. too bad its still a 4cyl with serious torque issues =( when will honda learn? =) low end torque is so much more fuN!
if you ask me..it looks like a damn dodge intrepid...but its supposedly suppose to be a merge between the prelude and the integra..its also going to get renamed..
That car looks like a cross between an integra and a civic. It's pretty butt ugly in my opinion. I really hope they design it more in the way of the prelude (more angular).
more like a cougar, looks like a cross between an accord shape, a camaro front end, and a cougar rear.

Originally posted by hasanazhar: It's not that great looking, but if it's got 220 hp, rwd, and costs around $20K, it's probably the best deal possible.
Seems like the article is too good to be true. Not sure about the hp (I am very skeptic of it), but I know it's not going to be rwd and it won't even have front double wishbone suspension.
If it does turn out to have 220hp....well, the current TypeR w/ 195hp(?) cost $26K, how did they figure the new one will be $18K?
honda is realizing that all the new cars are having higher and higher hp ratings and that they're getting left behind

Well....almost every car goes thru the cycle where its performance is ahead or at least up to par w/ their competitors upon release of new model, but then slowly trails as competitors introduce new models themselves in the following 4 or 5 years.
Honda's cars seem to hang in there pretty well, as far as hp is concern, in each of their respective class. IMHO of course.
Previous owner did not take care of leather so it is splitting and cracking.
Any ideas on vendors who sell replacement seat covers.
I don’t care if seats are leather just want factory look for front seats ?
Sportcross front passenger seat could be difficult to source due to fold flat design

Hey guys and gals,
I was wondering if it would worth my time and money to invest in my 2004 is 300? Nothing too crazy, just add some better rims, better brake kit (slotted, drilled, or blank?), maybe lowering springs, and possibly an exhaust. now i know most of this maybe a must while others...
Anyone have any experience with an aftermarket OE replacement oil pan? Mine is dented from the PO and since I have to pull it to address the gasket leak i was going to replace it.
The aftermarket ones are WAY cheaper than OE. But I am curious about the manufacture quality. Doesn't seem like...
Long story short i hopped a curb going about 45 degrees into it at maybe about 20 mph passenger tire first.... i put all new lower control arms on it. I got everythin to bolt up pretty nicely except the drivers side i had to basicly force the camber adjustment bolt into place, So it sits ever...
