Not really ... I'm all about aftermarket, but I'm not going to fix the body and the engine, it's going to be one or the other.
I know Toyota is going after the tuner market, because they made it a Scion and they said the ECU will not use proprietary protocols like Toyota's in the past ... it'd be great if this was this decades Civic, I just don't have the time to spend on redoing the whole car, I might as well not buy it if I go into it thinking I'm going to have to do that. If this were my only sports car then maybe, but it isn't. Like I said earlier, if it looked nice like the v2/v3 I could stomach it being underpowered.
Toyota put steak on the menu, and it served pit beef. If they had started with pit beef all along, it might not be such a let down.

I mean heck that thing is beast!
Not only that, but if this car becomes the rwd Civic, trust me there'll be body kits, there'll be ways to express yourself... The coolest thing about forums like this and cars in general is that you can always personalize and make things your own...
Back in the 90s, despite Civics being a Civic, there are very many unique ones out there because the choices were out there...
Like I said, don't be so near sighted, open up and experience it in the light of the aftermarket...
