Styling is of course subjective. The new Si here is hardly what I'd call a looker. Honda did something quite safe, lazy, and boring putting the K24 in the Si. The head pisses me off; VTEC intake side only and exhaust manifold cast with the head. It needs a dash light to tell you that VTEC is engaged...
Things would have gone over better with a turbocharged K23A1. Too bad it's dimensions aren't ideal and it's missing a 6-speed manual. I don't find something desirable in the new Si to set it apart from the competition anymore. Que. fatonis' quote:
