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.
Hello everyone,
New to this community here. I am looking to purchase a 2001 IS as a DD for around $4k. Just wanted to know if this was a good deal, and what I should be looking out for with something that high of mileage. It's mainly going to be used just to get to and from work, about 7...
Altezza window visors.
Hey guys what’s up, I just removed my visors from one of my Is300 to put them on my other Is300 and was wondering if any of you know what the best adhesive you guys have used to put them on again. I looked around on here for a thread on it but found nothing about the...
I am trying to find a exact diagram of the fuel lines or what all the lines are there is 5 lines that comes from the back I no the two small ones are the break lines and the main fuel line but what are the other two?
Before I do anything stupid: according to the diagram extract below, if I remove the fuel pump relay and apply +12V to terminal #4, the fuel pump will run at full speed and pressurize the fuel rail. Do you see it the same way?
Hey guys I got started doing the tbelt on my is300 again. It’s due based on age and has no problems other than a minor oil leak or two. After I got the crank pulley off I saw that it had been rubbing and melting the lower timing belt cover. This will be my 4th tbelt change that Ihave personally...
