Reading through this thread is kind of strange because I had the thought just a week or two ago that the WRX is the new Civic. If you go to an import meet, C&C or any other car show around here you do not see Civics anymore. All the young guys are driving WRX (and STi). Most are hatchbacks.
The FR-S and BRZ I see are stock or subtly modified.

On my 3rd S2000, all bone stock aside from tires/factory alignment and brake pads.

Basically, if a, then b. Anecdotal evidence isn't very strong (e.g. - I don't see many riced out FR-Ses where I'm at), but considering that I think hellaflush is "rice," I'd say it's maybe a 40/60 split of riced vs. what I consider "acceptable" Miatas. Not a majority, but still a large number. That's just the nature of sports cars and the hobby, imo.

There are several things to me that I consider "distasteful" but not necessarily "rice" -HID kid w/ ballasts in non projector headlights -Blue LEDs anywhere (White I am okay with inside the car and on the license plate) -lowering springs -plastidip -vinyl interior pieces -19" wheels and I find these distasteful when not on a race car -aftermarket steering wheels -bucket seats -racing harnesses

I think the twins are more or less the new 240sx rather then the new civic. You cant really compare an econobox to a perpose built sports car.
240sx were (and still are) in the same boat. Lots of em are riced, and lots of them are very clean and nice. The reputation the car has is somewhere in between the two. |

No one bought a 1992 Honda Civic Si hatchback, thinking it would be the king of all riced-out cars. But you know what? I bought this car because it is a great combination of price and performance, and lightweight RWD chassis with decent power. If Nissan or Honda offered a similar car with similar attributes in the same price range (below $30K out the door), I would've considered those. In the end... rant or not, I bought this car for me, not for the masses. What they do is of zero concern to me. -alex |
